Artist:
Clifford Brown
Title:
More Live at The Bee Hive



Details:
This previously unissued performance is not from the more well-known Bee Hive session recorded by Max Roach himself on November 7th 1955 And subsequently issued after Clifford's tragic death (and still available in its complete form on Lonehill LHJ10128). The Roach-Brown Quintet had in fact played at the Bee Hive (a South Chicago bar) earlier the same year on June 30th And it is this ultra-rare session now issued that was privately preserved on a portable non-professional tape recorder - And presents the group with Harold Land on tenor (who would be replaced by Rollins in November) Richie Powell on piano And George Morrow bass. It includes the only existing version (22 minutes +) of After You've Gone÷ by Brownie And a 15-minute poignant blues improvisation. As a bonus on this double CD there is another complete live session - recorded in New York in February 1956 - with the same personnel except Sonny Rollins replaces Harold Land. Although this concert was previously issued it is extremely rare And was only previously included on a long out of print 1982 LP entitled Pure Genius÷.
