  • Description

    The original album + 2 bonus tracks - pressed on 180g purple vinyl. Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

    The fantastic Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet with Sonny Rollins was destined to end in tragedy, for in the early hours of June 26, 1956, Clifford Brown died in a car accident along with pianist Richie Powell. In the short time between Rollins' arrival and Brownie's death, the group had entered the recording studio on just three occasions. The results of those three sessions, the quintet's only official legacy, originally appeared on two Prestige albums. 'Sonny Rollins Plus Four' was the last of them and includes such Rollins classic compositions as 'Valse Hot' and 'Pent-Up House'.

    "Brownie (Clifford Brown) was moving inexorably toward status as one of the very greatest of jazz horn men. Rollins plays the most sustainedly creative tenor I've heard on record by him before." - ***** Nat Hentoff, DownBeat
