Title: Classic Tunes by Clifford Brown
Review: Recorded in 1955, this CD provides an excellent introduction to hard bop through the work of jazz luminaries Clifford Brown (trumpet) and Max Roach (drums). A classic mix of standards (Cherokee, Take the A-Train) and originals penned by Brown, the set also includes the work of less well known sidemen Harold Land (tenor saxophone), Richie Morrow (bass) and Richie Powell (piano). This is straight-ahead modern jazz, well played and a worthy addition to any music collection. The only negative is the packaging, which is minimal.
