The last official album by the Clifford Brown/Max Roach quintet is the only one that featured the great Sonny Rollins on tenor. With pianist Richie Powell and bassist George Morrow completing the group, this CD reissue is a hard bop classic. Brownie and Rollins fit together perfectly on memorable versions of "What Is This Thing Called Love," "I'll Remember April," and a witty arrangement of "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." Highly recommended. [The 2002 expanded edition offers a wealth of extras, including bonus tracks like "Step Lightly (Junior's Arrival)" and "Flossie Lou." Alternate versions and breakdowns of "I'll Remember April," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing," and "What Is This Thing Called Love" are also featured.] ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
