Blue Note, 1956
The incomparable trumpeter Clifford Browns star was just starting to ascend when he recorded two sessions as a leader for Blue Note in 1953 a co-led quintet date with alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson and a sextet date under his own name that were later compiled on the 12″ LP Memorial Album (BLP 1526) shortly after his tragic death in a car accident in 1956. Side 1 presents the sextet with alto saxophonist Gigi Gryce, tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Art Blakey on a blistering version of Cherokee, the stunning ballad performance of Easy Living, the Quincy Jones bebop theme Wail Bait, and more. Side 2 finds the Donaldson-Brown Quintet with Heath on bass, Elmo Hope on piano, and Philly Joe Jones on drums cooking through a set including Browns briskly paced original Brownie Speaks, Hopes grooving De-Dah, and the resplendent ballad You Go To My Head.
