When Miles Davis and Charlie Parker heard the young Clifford Brown in New York in 1952, they couldn't believe how good he was. The following year, the trumpeter went into the studio to record his first two albums under his own name for Blue Note in quick succession. Shortly after Brown's tragically early death in an accident in June 1956, the label re-released these groundbreaking recordings together under the title "Memorial Album". BLUE NOTE CLASSIC VINYL EDITION: Stereo, all analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl by Optimal.
