 Priceless! Amazing! June 12, 2010

Three of these classic albums - Brown & Roach Inc, Jam Session & Study in Brown albums are easily worth $10.00 each. The recording quality is terrific & Clifford Brown & Max Roach are frightfully good. I listened to the CD's through a pair of Koss PortaPro headphones & just thoroughly enjoyed hearing the amazing sound of Clifford's trumpet & the great sound of Max Roach's drums. This was before plastic (synthetic) drum heads & I you can actually hear the sound of Max Roach's natural (animal skin) drums. Thrilling drum solos from Max Roach & Clifford Brown's solos are as usual out of this world. These 4 albums on 2 CDs is like a....gift from God.
The Greatest Trumpeter January 14, 2010

Without doubt Clifford Brown's mastery of his instrument and of the Be Bop idiom made him the best trumpeter of his time, ahead of Dizzy Gillespie and Kenny Dorham and streets ahead of Miles Davis. He was as fluent as the very best saxophonists and his sparkling tone,clarity of articulation and phrasing made him a truly sensational performer.
"Move" (taken from the album "Jam Session") is taken at a frenetic pace, and Brown shows that he is capable of producing a great solo at this phenomenal tempo while the other horns, with the possible exception of Clark Terry, only just manage to hold their own. Having said this, Harold Land, not my favourite tenor player,puts on strong performances on the other tracks taken from the first three albums, and blows his socks off on the opening number, "Sweet Clifford".
Max Roach fans will be pleased to find several extended drum solos and there is one vocal from Dinah Washington.
If you haven't already got "Study in Brown" and "Clifford Brown Sextet" get this collection. If you have then you may already have the best it has to offer.

A friend who's a trumpeter told me that Clifford Brown was the trumpet player's trumpeter. His sound was warm and round and consistent across the full range. He could articulate every note, even at the high tempos and could jam with the best. If he'd lived his legacy would have been up there with Miles .... but he didn't so you'll just have to make do with these cracking CDs. They are so good I'm going to buy another set to away give as a gift.
 classic bop-jazz trumpet playing from Brown + cohorts August 21, 2009

yes - this is really a no-brainer for any jazz or swing or just plain "good music" fan. a double cd for £4 /$6 of some of clifford brown's hugely influential trumpet and ensemble playing from the 1950's. Brown is, along with Fats Navarro- widely regarded as one of the bop era's finest trumpeters influencing later luminaries such as Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan.
this cd roughly splits between fast driven swinging hard bop and slow ballads (as seemed to be customary on jazz recordings in the 40's and fifties. great brassy lyrical and driving playing form all concerned including the great Max Roach on drums and definitely a viable alternative to the cool playg of miles davis. both are essential but "Brownie" gets the party started better..
Good Jazz, Cheap! March 22, 2009

This 2-cd set is exactly as described - four classic LP albums re-mastered and featuring (for the most part) trumpeter Clifford Brown.
Playing times are approx. 76 mins per disc and sound quality is very good for it`s age played on modest hi-fi equipment.
First album is "Brown/Roach inc." tracks 1-7 on CD 1. Not a typical album as four of the tracks are "features" for individual band members,leaving only three actual quintet tracks; second album is a trumpet heavy jam session recording - the order of solo (for the trumpets) being Terry, then Brown then Ferguson on both tracks 8 and 10; "Darn That Dream" featuring a vocal by Dinah Washington. The album concludes on Disc 2 track 1 with a medley featuring (I think) Ferguson on "Don`t Worry `Bout Me" and Brown on "It Might As Well Be Spring"
The real meat of the set is on the remainder of this disc with "Study In Brown" a solid classic quintet album bookended by smart arrangements by Powell of "Cherokee" and "A Train" respectively. The final album was a Bluenote 10" LP and is the earliest recording from this set dating from 1953, a sextet heavily showcasing Brown.
If you know Brown`s music you`ll need no recommendation from me; if your new to him or just wish to aquire a good library of classic sounds at a very reasonable price go for it. Another good release from Avid who deserve praise for a truly wonderful re-issue series.
