Notes
JASRAC
195J-38(M)
MG 36098-3
Recorded in New York, September 17, 19 & 20, 1956
"This is the first long-play Max Roach has made since death cast a gruesome shadow on his combo in the summer of 1956. The automobile accident that took the life of Clifford Brown, his brilliant young trumpeter-partner, on June 26 last, also claimed the life of Richard Powell, pianist who had been a key figure in the group as its chief arranger.
The twin blows were not easy to sustain either on a musical or a personal level. After the initial shock had worn off, Max cast about him to find musicians who would tally with his conception of how the group around him should sound. We will not call them replacements, for nothing can ever replace a gap created by the tragedy that took these two promising talents from the scene."

Including two sided Japanese inner-sheet with Japanese titles, liner-notes and discography.
English liner-notes on back cover.
