This 1954 quartet session captures Clifford Brown in his early twenties, already a master of bebop trumpet, leading a group that would soon be influential.

Clifford Brown was a virtuoso trumpeter from Wilmington, Delaware, known for his dazzling technique and lyrical melodicism in the bebop and hard bop scenes. This 1954 recording found him leading his own quartet, shortly before his prolific collaborations with Max Roach.
