In July and August of 1954, as Clifford Brown and Max Roach were launching their quintet, the great trumpeter did this Pacific Jazz septet session featuring Zoot Sims and Russ Freeman with arrangements by Jack Montrose. He introduces three of his most enduring compositions here: "Daahoud", "Joy Spring" and "Tiny Capers". On CD for the first time is an alternate take of "Gone With The Wind" which has appeared previously only on a Pacific Jazz EP.
Clifford Brown (trumpet), Stu Williamson (valve trombone), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Bob Gordon (baritone sax), Russ Freeman (piano), Joe Mondragon (bass #1-3), Carson Smith (bass #4-9), Shelly Manne (drums). Arranged by Jack Montrose.
