		This is already obvious from these fairly traditional sessions, but with Roach, Brown would play (and compose) some of the most thrilling, catchy and impressive jazz of the immediate post-bop era, preceding the hard-bop exploits that would take over in the late 50s.
		Again, Brown's solo is fluid and catchy, but not even hinting at the greatness you can hear on the other three tracks.
