Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the tragic death of his brilliant co-leader Clifford Brown, the master drummer resiliently debuts a completely revamped, incredibly potent hard bop quintet. Featuring the dynamic new frontline of Kenny Dorham and Sonny Rollins, the tightly arranged session highlights intense, polyrhythmic drive and blistering, technically flawless soloing. The record triumphantly re-established the ensemble as one of the premier, most advanced units in modern jazz.
