Review

The contents of this Trip LP have been reissued on CD. The lineup of this jam session is quite remarkable: Trumpeters Clifford Brown, Clark Terry and Maynard Ferguson, altoist Herb Geller, tenor-saxophonist Harold Land, Richie Powell or Junior Mance on piano, Keeter Betts or George Morrow on bass and drummer Max Roach. A nearly 15-minute "What Is This Thing Called Love" gives one the opportunity to compare the three very different trumpeters, "Darn That Dream" is a ballad feature for singer Dinah Washington, "Move" is taken at an incredible tempo which holds up for 14½ minutes and this set concludes with a four-song ballad medley; Brownie's playing on "It Might as Well Be Spring" is classic. A brilliant set that is highly recommended (and included in full on Clifford Brown's ten-CD EmArcy box). ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
