"We should all stand up and applaud Blue Note for rolling the tapes at Birdland ... to put it simply, Blakey and company had clicked that night ..."
- All About Jazz
"... this golden quintet (is) fronted by standard-setting new trumpet virtuoso Clifford Brown (fearsome uptempo, and a precocious ballad player at 23) and altoist Lou Donaldson, whose tone was Charlie Parker's yawp given an acid bath. Pianist Horace Silver is funky and resourceful as always, on the cusp of his own bandleading career."
- Wondering Sound
This is the first volume of two classic live albums recorded in February 1954 at New York City nightclub Birdland, originally released on 10" vinyl, later repackaged with volume two and additional material on a 12" LP. Drummer Art Blakey leads the quintet, a nascent Jazz Messengers, but this performance is as much about trumpeter Clifford Brown as Blakey. The rest of the excellent quintet includes Lou Donaldson on alto saxophone, Curley Russell on bass and Horace Silver on piano.
