Artist:Clifford Brown & Max Roach
Song:Cherokee
Album:Study In Brown
Clifford Brown was one of the best jazz trumpet players of the bop era on a par with Miles Davis & Dizzy Gillespie. Unfortunately, he is largely forgotten because he died tragically in a car accident on June 26, 1956 at age 25. But his recordings are available and they still sound great. Brownie did a series of recordings with drummer Max Roach for EmArcy. Study In Brown was released in 1955 and also features Harold Land on sax, Richie Powell on piano (he also died in that car accident) & George Morrow on bass. It's available on CD and you can also get a 2CD Clifford Brown/Max Roach comp on Mercury. Despite not being around for very long, Clifford Brown is one of the all time greats of jazz.
