CLIFFORD BROWN ("Brownie") - This session is the FIRST and INITIAL RECORDING as a SOLOIST
As noted in the liner notes by Leonard Feather, the 3 members of the rhythm section had also worked with ELMO HOPE on his piano solo LP (Blue Note 5029) "furnishing a cohesive undercurrent throughout all six numbers. ELMO HOPE shines in solo and sectional roles, while "Philly" Joe Jones percussive persuasion and the faultless beat of Percy Heath's bass furnish the elegant modern beat you would expect"
This is from a private collection and well preserved almost 60 years.
