I immediately heard a more balanced sound on the new LP that allowed the instruments to breathe, so I further compared the two. ... when the ensemble joins together to play the theme, the vinyl gave more space to the instruments and it was easier to pick each of them out. Land's brief statement during the intro had a warmer, more natural tone and I could more easily hear his breath control on the instrument. - Soundstage

From the very first second, beginning with the magic drumming of Max Roach, right up to the very last note, this LP will overwhelm listeners with its sheer power – hard bop is certainly no easy fare for lovers of beautiful sounds. One is swept along in a maelstrom into the unknown, and is taken to wherever the soloist’s wealth of ideas leads him. That’s particularly clear in the case of "Caravan", "Lands End", and "Gerkin’ For Perkin": the brilliantly interacting quartet, all of them soloists with 'equal rights', race through the numbers like an express train. The trumpet and the tenor sax – often playing unisono – are not placed at the fore (which would be usual), but are on the same tonal plane as the rhythm group. By this means, a tightly-knit, typical, thrilling sound is achieved, with the result that this album must be counted among the top 100 in the jazz firmament.
Generations of trumpeters have since studied Clifford Brown’s art of playing, who died tragically young in a car accident. Now, thanks to this top-quality re-release, listeners are offered a wonderful opportunity to study this "Study In Brown".
 
The passer-by would be forgiven for thinking that jazz music was at one time cursed to be populated by drug addicts, alcoholics and sad figures. Clifford Brown, however, was none of these. Instead he was a budding genius who lived a clean life, but still died young, aged 25. He died in a car crash and wasn’t even behind the wheel. Seems that the spirit of jazz was gonna get him anyway.
This excellent album features tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Richie Powell and bassist George Morrow. Max Roach accompanies the group brilliantly on drums, and it’s hard bop to the max, courtesy of one band that could have reached the heights in time. Now you can learn what all the fuss was about.
