The Roach-Brown quintet started its tragically short run in the beginning of 1954. The first formation included - in addition to Max and Brownie - tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards, bassist George Bledsoe and pianist Carl Perkins. This group was recorded just once, during a concert at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in April 1954. But not long after that, Edwards, Perkins and Bledsoe left for different reasons, and it was necessary for Max and Clifford to get new musicians. The piano and bass chairs were soon filled by bassist George Morrow and pianist Richie Powell (Bud Powell's younger brother), and Harold Land was chosen as the tenor player. Land was present on most of the quintet's recordings, but the tenor chair was to change hands at the very end of 1955, when Land returned to Los Angeles and the young Sonny Rollins took his place.
A previous volume from our series (EJC 55407) compiled all the studio sessions by the Brown-Roach quintet featuring Sonny Rollins. The sessions contained here are considered essential jazz classics, not only for the amazing trumpet playing, but also for the overwhelming interaction and understanding between Brownie and Roach, and between all the members of the band as a whole.
