Jazz
Recorded at WOR Studio, New York, New York on June 22, 1953
J.J. Johnson (trombone); Jimmy Heath (tenor & baritone saxophones); Clifford Brown (trumpet); John Lewis (piano); Percy Heath (bass); Kenny Clarke (drums)
With a powerful front line (Johnson, Clifford Brown and Jimmy Heath) and the rhythm section of the Modern Jazz Quartet, this master trombonist's complete 1953 session offers great variety and superb playing from all concerned. Brownie is especially astonishing throughout. The tunes range from bop to standards to an early Third Stream John Lewis piece, "Sketch 1". |
