“There is no sign here that the music is rehearsed to the point that spontaneity is lost. On the contrary, each arrangement is worked to a point that actually propels the soloists, gives them – and Brown particularly – maximum lift. These areclassics of modern jazz.”- Penguin Guide to Jazz

“Gathered around the trumpet legend Clifford Brown, young saxophonist Sonny Rollins (26 at the time), who would soon inscribe his name in the firmament of jazz history, delivered a fiery and flamboyant performance that perfectly complemented the trumpeter’s vibrant,mellifluous sound.” - Jazz Magazine
