Whenever l listen to Clifford Brown's music l find it unbelievable to say the music was produced about seventy plus years ago. This trumpeter is phenomenal. His legacy lives on and is unchallenged. He is truly a GOAT trumpeter
Brownie, the trumpet players trumpet player: this angel of both a man and a player had it all, imagination , inventiveness, lyricism, an outstanding technique, but used only to express the limitlessness of his ideas, and, best of all, swing like the clappers! I once had the honour of meeting Quincy Jones, who played trumpet beside him the Lionel Hampton band back in the fifties, and when I spoke to him about how I idolized Clifford, tears came into his eyes; he just said Clifford was just a beautiful person and musician who he adored. Praise does not come any higher than that!
Yep i fully agree, play their fab recordings all the time now after hearing um back Dinah washington on a live album of hers. Bought all the recordings they made together and just cant stop tapping my toes to their superb musicianship
What a joy, lounging in the sun on my balcony in Malta and hearing the mellow trumpet of Clifford and Max thumping away on the drums, my heart goes out to these 2 who left behind such superb recordings to enjoy 68 yrs later.
I dearly love the music of the Clifford Brown Max Roach group and kick off every year by binge listening to Clifford every day in the month of January. Got to see Max with his outstanding quartet a few times!
The first 5 tracks are played by Teddy Edwards on tenor, and after that Harold Land takes over. Got to know Teddy very well during my stay in Holland in the '70's and introduced to him by my dear friend (swing-drummer) Wallace (Bish) Bishop who lived there from 1960 till he past in the mid 80's. Wally used to drum with the Earl Hines band in the '30's. After a gig Teddy and Wally used to come to my place and we talked and talked about "the good old days". He mentioned recording this record. Teddy used to live in LA and was for years part of the West-Coast Jazz scene. I've got nearly all of the MR & CB LP's and must say hearing this record again makes me happy and sad. Sad that we don't seem to "match" this ultimate level of this incredible Jazz music anymore. Teddy and Wally are now "jamming" in a better place. We are left now with their incredible artistic legacy and for that i'm very grateful. But when i "see" them in a few years time i will let them know how much they are still so very much missed and appreciated! Enjoy this classic, Cheers!
George Bledsoe was a popular singer on the west coast in the 40s and cut some singles. In the late 50s he joined Charlie Owens' Ink Spots (a spin off group) and sang and played Bass with Stanley Morgan's Ink Spots until his death in 1982. Stanley Morgan was the father of Alto Saxophonist Frank Morgan.
brownie and crew -I see its been awhile since any comments - glad I tripped on this album -Not like I haven't heard Brownie before but this is interesting live concert esp, w the sidemen - Richie Powell - Teddy Edwards - Harold Land - I wish it was a better recording as I can't hear all the fidelity that I know is missing (fullness) - but it could be my computer speakers
Is Clifford Brown the standard by which all other musicians, especially trumpet players, follow on how to play a jazz ballad..wow! or how to construct a jazz solo period. Is there any limits to Clifford's ability on the trumpet.
The late .george .russell admired. Clifford ,Max and all so fabulous if only Richie Powell hadn’t Decided to drive back to New .york on a Rain swept night to N Y

Bob: I'm 86 years old and for the previous 66, there's been hardly a day when I haven't thought of the miracle that was Clifford.
Clifford Brown, the best Jazz trumpet player of all time and Max Roach the best drummer.......
Yes pure genius!

What a lovely comment, Ron.
@@Usefulmusic Thank you UM. Be well & Cheers!
Clifford brought a clean focus to jazz . His notes layed smooth on the rhythm with a hisitation.
My favorite all-time trumpeter who inspired me to write a tune in his honor.
i remenber clifford
What an album with my favorite Trumpeter, Clifford Brown and my favorite jazz combo, Max Roach, Harold Land, Ritchie Powell, George Morrow.
What a couple, GREAT musicans they were, Max Roach and Clifford Brown.
Greatness. These two masterful musicians, in such a short period of time, absolutely killed it!
It would've been a pleasure to hear Clifford Brown, John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley playing in the same group.
And drummers LISTEN and PAY special attention to the GREAT! Max Roach. Not many (if any) can "kick yr ass" as he could and SWING! the music
Jan Gunnar Olsen gênio
Jan Gunnar Olsen Max Roach é gênio
Shit! This is so COOL! What would Clifford Brown have been if he had not died in 1956? Youngsters! LISTEN to These Cats in the 5
How intelligent and alert they were.

Austin Casey nice. Information thanks
The GREAT CLIFFORD BROWN, he made the Trumpet DANCE!!!
Clifford's solo on The Man I Love is magnificent. Starting at 25:28 his exchange with Max is just perfection. Ty so much for posting!! :)
swingwithbing
This was my intro to jazz 50 years ago - from then on I was hooked
THANK YOU
Wish I’d been there.
All god chillun, such a great tune. Clifford had previously record Mayreh (Horace Silver) over the same changes, but a completely different solo
Heaven.
Tenor sax, Teddy Edwards 1925 - 2003
Maravilha!

May be one more drummer than Max Roach could "kick yr ass", namely, Art Blakey
True!
Blakey of cause was dazzling virtuoso, but I don't like his solos. Ali Jackson did a solo that I liked, Joe Morello too. Blakey was a show off.
Who’s blowing the tenor sax? Great performance. I have an alto,much practice is needed, don’t know a thing about reading music, play by ear.

Ran Blake ...Nancy Welch Powell, who was Richard Bertram Powell's new bride was behind the wheel when the accident occurred.
@@brucescott4261 this is all too sad
It only shows the DUES Creative Musicians have had to pay & CONTINUE to pay!!!
Perkins sounding a bit like Horace Silver and Sonny Clark on that Edwards tune.
That was live.....No studio sound.........
