The record
Clifford Brown's trumpet and Rollins's tenor share a frontline that history cut short -- Richie Powell's chords the only cushion between them and Roach's drive. Recorded months before Brown's death, Prestige caught something that never got to mature.

Pressings
Everything on file for this title is a reissue. The earliest copies we list are three 1964 US Prestige pressings of PR 7291 -- one mono, two stereo -- plus a Japanese SMJ-7206. Europe follows: a 1966 UK mono on Transatlantic, a 1966 French FELP10.006, and German copies as PR 7291 in 1967 and PRST 7291 in 1968. We hold no original-era pressing here, so judge these on country, channel and condition.
