Editorial Reviews

Verve's two-disc collection of the best recordings from the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet recorded for Mercury/Emarcy between 1954 and 1956 includes several Brown-Roach classics -- "Parisian Throroughfare," "Cherokee," "Jordu," "Daahoud" -- but the second doesn't even feature Brown at all. Instead, listeners get the highlights of Max Roach's varied quintets after the death of Brown in 1956. Of course, Roach's late-'50s sessions feature many great recordings -- trumpeter Booker Little is a competent replacement for Brown, and tenors Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley, and Stanley Turrentine all have great spots -- but record buyers expecting this set to live up to its title will be disappointed. Despite that, however, this is an OK overview of the Max Roach side of the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. John Bush, All Music Guide
