About both albums:
Live at the Bee Hive (from FreshSounds.com):
This 2-CD Set includes Brown’s first ever recording with Sonny Rollins and Max Roach recorded live at Chicago’s Bee Hive on November 7, 1955. The inimitable trio is joined here by pianists Billy Wallace or Chris Anderson and bassist George Morrow. The edition also includes an unofficial Quintet date at New York’s Basin Street Club from April 28, 1956; and a rare 10 minutes Bonus Track of Clifford Brown recorded at a hotel in Copenhagen on November 12, 1953 after a date with the Lionel Hampton band. “This astounding 135-minute release features the Brownie, Rollins and Roach group setting fire to the bandstand with their irrepressible hard bop sound. A must have for any jazz lover.” – Warren Misel, Jazz FM……Here’s the link
