Contents.History The album is one of several that resulted from the partnership between Roach and Brown after Roach invited Brown in to join him in creating a band. Brown and Roach together selected additional musicians to comprise the quintet from among the jazz musicians currently active in.

The band was prominent in the jazz scene; Land, brought in when predecessor Edwards declined to tour with the group, experienced an enormous increase in his reputation in the jazz world, while Land's successor would be springboarded by the visible position into superstardom.

'The numerous felicities of this tightly-knit working band', author Barry Dean Kernfeld wrote, 'were seldom better displayed than in these dynamic performances'. In its review, describes it as 'by far some of the warmest and most sincere bebop performed and committed to tape', indicating that 'it represents bop at its best and is recommended for collectors and casual fans alike'. Notable tracks According to, two of the songs featured on this album, 'Daahoud' and 'Joy Spring', have become 'part of the standard jazz repertoire'.The song 'Joy Spring' was composed by Brown in honor of his wife, whom he called his 'joy spring'.
She had been introduced to him by Roach as a student working to prove in her thesis that jazz was inferior to her field of, a thesis Brown convinced her was mistaken. Ratliff describes these two songs, along with the tracks 'Parisian Thoroughfare' and 'Jordu' as 'four of Brown's great performances'.Also notable is the album's version of the theme song for the film, which columnist selected as the outstanding jazz track for 1954, though he describes it as 'the most unlikely of vehicles'.
