Lost Rehearsals 1953-56

2009 collection of previously unissued recordings by the Jazz great, taped between 1953-56. This release contains a batch of rare rehearsals preserved by Brownie himself with his own amateur tape recorder. They feature such stars as Tadd Dameron, Benny Golson and Gigi Gryce, as well as the classic quintet with Sonny Rollins and Max Roach. Clifford plays amazing solos on all of these tunes, many of which, like 'Somebody Loves Me', 'Bula-Beige Blues' and 'Sometimes I'm Happy', he would never record again. Includes eight page booklet. RLR.
