“January 4, 1956: Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Richie Powell and George Morrow met up in a New York studio to record At Basin Street, which would be the group’s final album. That summer, Clifford Brown and Richie Powell died in a tragic car accident. This final testimony is one of the most exciting records from a quintet which was like very few others.” - Jazz Magazine

“Each arrangement is worked to a point that actually propels the soloists, gives them - and Brown particularly - maximum lift. These are classics of modern jazz.” - Penguin Guide To Jazz

“Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street reemphasizes the loss jazz suffered when Clifford and Richie Powell died. Energetic, full-bodied jazz. Thoroughly recommended.” - John A. Tynan, DownBeat”

Tracks: Side A: What Is This Thing Called Love? / Love Is A Many Splendored Thing / I’ll Remember April / Side B: Powell’s Prances / Time / The Scene Is Clean / Gertrude’s Bounce / I Feel A Song Coming On
