About
Hard bop doesn't get much better than this. Trumpet prodigy Brown's rapport with drum demon Roach, trading fours on standard-in-the-making "Joy Spring," feels like a pair of world-class dancers who intuit each other's moves before they make them. On "What Am I Here For?," the quintet maintains a lighter-than-air feel while executing ultra-precise runs. "These Foolish Things" shimmers like starlight, with bassist George Morrow's concise but poignant solo a standout statement on an album not lacking in breathtaking moments.

Album by the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet, described by The New York Times as "perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956". The album was critically well-received and includes several notable tracks, including two that have since become jazz standards. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It is included in Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings at #34, where it is described by New York Times jazz critic Ben Ratliff as "one of the strongest studio albums up to that time".
The majority of the sessions that comprise this album were recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood in August 1954. Two of the tracks were recorded in February 1955 at Capitol Studios in New York City.
Originally released on the EmArcy label, it has been multiply re-issued, including in a 2000 edition by Verve Records that contains additional tracks. Also, all tracks are included in the 2011 release, 'The Complete Mercury Sessions'.
