Clifford Brown / Max Roach: Best Coast Jazz (2 Lps On 1 Cd)

Description: Best Coast Jazz (2 Lps On 1 Cd) Clifford Brown / Max Roach Featuring: Clifford Brown (tp), Herb Geller, Joe Maini (as), Walter Benton (ts), Kenny Drew (p), Curtis Counce (b), Max Roach (d) REFERENCE: FSRCD 868 BAR CODE: 8427328608688 These legendary recordings took place in August 10, 1954, during four sessions at the old Capitol Studios (5515 Melrose Ave.) in Hollywood, and featured an all-star group headed by trumpeter Clifford Brown, with two outstanding and Bird-influenced alto saxophonists: Joe Maini, and Herb Geller, both compelling players, each with an extraordinary ability to swing. A stimulating contrast in colour is provided by the dark-toned, sinuously swinging tenor of Walter Benton. An appropriately incendiary rhythm section in pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Curtis Counce and the magisterial Max Roach, stokes the fires of invention behind them with sensitivity, imagination and drive. From the opening tune, Coronado—a remarkably spirited and swinging bop blues number—throughout a mid-tempo version of You Go to My Head, and on to the rhythmic excitement of Caravan and the gentle but buoyantly lyrical Autumn in New York, these performances offer everyone splendid opportunities to have their say, and to say it well. But in a wealth of fine playing, what lifts them into another dimension is the inspired trumpet of Clifford Brown, a great jazzman at the height of his considerable powers. Tracklisting: 01.
