At Basin Street stands as a vivid snapshot of the Clifford Brown and Max Roach quintet in 1956, just months before Brown’s untimely death.

Brown’s radiant phrasing and Roach’s fearless rhythms meet in an electrifying dialogue, joined by Sonny Rollins’ muscular tenor, Richie Powell’s inventive piano, and George Morrow’s steadfast bass. The recording brims with intensity—each solo and ensemble passage is alive with the urgency and joy of musicians pushing each other to new heights. The chemistry is palpable, especially on tracks like “What Is This Thing Called Love?” and “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing,” where lyricism and technical prowess dovetail effortlessly. As their last official collaboration, At Basin Street occupies a sacred space in jazz lore, revered for both its artistry and its sense of occasion. For collectors and listeners alike, this album offers not just swinging tunes, but a window into a pivotal moment in jazz history—one where innovation, passion, and camaraderie shine through every note.
