A high point of aggressiveness and imagination
-
We Say...
In 1956, Sonny Rollins was a member of the Clifford Brown-Max Roach group, which cut a real masterpiece under his name, Sonny Rollins Plus Four. This group lets it all hang out. Rollins and trumpeter Clifford Brown play with great aggressiveness, imagination and continuity. Rollins is on fire, pouring ideas out of his horn, as does the great Brown. Brown's tone sounds great here: big, full and with a heavy vibrato. Richie Powell, Bud's younger brother, contributes some fine, thoughtful solos to the date. This is my favorite Roach-Brown album, and that's saying something. With Rollins included they were one of the great small combos in jazz.

They Say...
In 1956 Sonny Rollins used the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet (of which he was a member) as his sidemen for this Prestige set. The high points of this particularly strong hard bop set include "Valse Hot" (an early jazz waltz), a rapid rendition of "I Feel a Song Coming On," and Rollins's classic "Pent-Up House." Trumpeter Brown (heard on one of his final sessions) is in excellent form, as is the strong rhythm section and the young tenor-leader himself. This excellent music is also included as part of Rollins's seven-CD box set for Prestige. [A Mobile Fidelity edition was issued in 2002.]
