LP, vinile 180g audiofilo. Registrato ai Capitol Studios di Los Angeles nell'agosto del 1954, questo è stato il primo disco per la Emarcy del leggendario Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet, con il grande Harold Land al sassofono tenore, Richie Powell al pianoforte e George Morrow al basso.
Sotto la direzione di due maestri del jazz moderno, il trombettista Clifford Brown e il batterista Max Roach, il quintetto brilla in una raffinata serie di standard classici, tra cui “Stompin' at the Savoy” di Edgar Sampson (spesso erroneamente attribuito a Benny Goodman), “I Get a Kick out of You” di Cole Porter, oltre a due brani originali di Brown-Roach.
Il New York Times descrisse il Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet come “forse il gruppo bop per eccellenza fino al fatale incidente automobilistico del signor Brown nel 1956”.
Questo LP contiene il loro secondo album nella sua interezza, oltre a brani del quartetto registrati da Brown in Francia nel 1953, aggiunti come bonus.

LP, vinile audiofilo 180g. Il quintetto di Max Roach e Clifford Brown è nato all'inizio del 1954. La prima formazione includeva, oltre Roach e Brown, il sassofonista tenore Teddy Edwards, il contrabbassista George Bledsoe e il pianista Carl Perkins. Poco dopo, Edwards, Perkins e Bledsoe lasciarono il gruppo. Il ruolo di pianista e contrabbassista fu preso rispettivamente da Richie Powell (fratello minore di Bud Powell) e George Morrow, mentre Harold Land fu scelto come sassofonista. Land partecipò alla maggior parte delle registrazioni del quintetto, che avrebbe lasciato nel 1955. Le sessioni del quintetto con Harold Land sono state pubblicate negli album “Clifford Brown & Max Roach”, “Brown & Roach Inc.” e “Studio in Brown”, qui riproposto. Come bonus è stata aggiunta un’ alternate take (“LANDS END”) non presente sulla versione orginale.
