I was really touched by this RARE chance to actually here my UNCLE speak. I grew up hearing his MUSIC but never heard him SPEAK..!!! He died when I was 2 yrs old. Also to hear him mention the birth of my cousin, his son...!!! This actually brought tears to my eyes. Thanks "logudorian".
I am a little envious. I had never thought what it would be like for descendants of famous people to see film of them. What I wouldn't give for some film of say, my mother as a young woman or of my grandmother the youngest of 15 kids a hundred years ago. BTW, I have been a fan of your uncle for over 50 years.
Sad he died at such a young age. Probably would have gone down as the greatest jazz trumpeter of all time. He is my favorite trumpeter of all time. I have just about every album he put out.
Also I have this Clifford Brown t shirt I bought on Ebay last year. It's from the blue note 1526 memorial album cover. A must have for Clifford Brown fans. Stay safe and be well.
He lived too clean - no booze, drugs, hookers, or even cussing - so his life isn’t “interesting” enough. Instead we get biopics about Miles and Chet Baker
Priceless footage of Clifford Brown. Soupy Sales was a huge jazz fan and had many famous jazz musicians on his show including Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz and Miles Davis (6 times). I grew up watching his show.
A stunning post. I don't think there's any musician I'd rather listen to than Clifford Brown. Actual music on the TV in 1955-56? I was born 5 months after Clifford died in the car accident. Amazing.
There’s no telling how famous Clifford would have become. He seems in this short clip like a humble modest man. The world lost someone special that day.
This "Soupy show" originated in Detroit. The band was composed of the Detroit cats. There were 2 Soupy shows, the lunchtime kids show and the late night Soupy show before Shock Theater. This was all live from Detroit. Oh and my dad Don Palmer was the bassist (also doubling on violin) on staff at WXYZ ABC's affiliate. The house band had 3 horns, guitar, bass, piano, drums, and accordion. Joe Messina the fine guitarist spoke of learning his style from horn players like Clifford Brown. When the top musicians toured through Detroit, they usually also played the Soupy Show! Occasionally I got to go to the station where the show was aired. but then I was 5 when this was recorded. But to see how Clifford handled the trumpet around the jazz structures is quite a treat.....And I've never seen this before! Thanks Logudorian!!
Comment les médias peuvent ils laisser dans l'oubli un artiste de cette dimension quelle honte quand on voit toutes les chèvres qui sont portées aux nues dans les chaînes télévisées. C'est totalement coupable de laisser les gens dans l'ignorance d'une telle beauté artistique et d'un tel génie Chapeau bas pour Mr Brown !
spot on the money good doctor.shame Clifford left so soon along with many of our jazz stars.i remember in the very early50s when scott la faro frightened us young bop players to death then bang gone in a breath.i thank them all for enriching my life with there great talent.many thanks.

85th ANNIVERSARY HIS BIRTH TODAY!!! CLIFFORD BROWN (October 30, 1930 - June 26, 1956), aka "Brownie", was an American jazz trumpeter. He died at the age of 25 in a car accident,
Clifford Brown unlike other jazz musicians didn't do drugs or drink. Sonny Rollins was so amazed that Clifford could play that good without doing DRUGS. Sonny Rollins credits Clifford with saving his life. He stopped using drugs and is still alive and is 90.
That rumour that Jazz musicians thought that they could play like Charlie Parker if they just took heroin like Bird did, I don't know if it's true or not. Either way, that stuff affected a lot of guys & ladies.
Awesome sauce, the sweetest tone of all time. SO wonderful to have visuals of Brownie for us who were too young to have ever seen him. Thanks for posting.
One of my all-time favorite TV personalities with one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. Both have provided lots of pleasure to audiences over the years. This must have been around 1953-4, years before Soupy left Detroit for New York.
I saw him first in 1959 in Detroit when I was about 10. He later went to NYC and had a Saturday noon and then a later show show, where he had celebs have a pie thrown in their face among other skits. Finally there was the daily show at about 4 PM. Loved him and Frank Nastasi as the guy at the door and White Fang/Black Tooth. One of the funniest shows ever on TV.
Oh man, this was great. It's always a treat to see the old masters on video. My dad left me his great jazz collection and CB has a sound and has become one of my favorites
A great, great musician whose life and career was brutally curtailed by that terrible car accident in June 1956. No Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Wynton etc without him. From all accounts, he was a very nice man. Nobody had a bad word to say about him, even after sixty years. His best tribute is the glorious music he left behind.
In every autobiography I've read on Jazz musicians they all state that Cliffords passing was one of the biggest losses both personal and professional. In listening to him play I can see why. If you can hear this "Brownie" play us a tune would you.
A little sad to hear that he just became a father, knowing that he wouldn't be with his son very long. At least he had the joy of fatherhood for the rest of his short life. I love listening to him play, and listening to the interview.
@@wilgreenstreet ...Brownie replaced Little Benny Harris. The gig was in Philadelphia, PA circa May 1951, shortly after Brownie's long hospitalization from car accident in Maryland on June 3, 1950. There aren't any recordings of this event. Roy Haynes was the drummer. Clifford Benjamin Brown was in a body cast during his long hospitalization.
@speakeasynyc Clifford was and is a national treasure. He was taken to give Gabriell a rest. His playing on "With Strings" is angelic and will never be matched.
My trumpet playin' friend and small group member Dan in '63 said he liked Clifford Brown's trumpet playing better than Diz's. Sure can see why. From Fats to Brown to Dorham passes the baton. Good to see my man doin' so well! And in Detroit too! "nuff of these depressing album covers sometimes.
Redbox code DVD night It's very Cool that Soupy Sales had jazz music on his show. You know he was a jazz lover and in his glory having Clifford Brown on his show! What great footage this is. thank you for Posting it.
oh my god that is so sad. he died so young. best jazz player in history in my opinion. he was so happy about his new baby boy. i mean just look at his face. little did he know he would only be with him for a year
I always like to revisit the virtuosity of the great Clifford Brown. This is one of the very few films of Clifford playing live. He also makes a cameo appearance in the film "Carmen Jones" during the Max Roach scene on stage.
You man k is by now but it's called, "Brownie Speaks" featuring his family and friends including the sax player Lou Donaldson who played with him during the Night at Birdland gig with Art Blakey.
I agree Brews, Theodore "Fats" Navarro was pinancle in Cliffords development. He did get some lessons from "Fats" before he passed in 1950.. Booker has Amazing Compositions & playing and to think he passed at age 23!! . Lee Morgan, again great player & Composer and as the rest died very young. Booker being the youngest..I play Trumpet and I cannot name one favorite. I'd name at least 10 Trumpeters because that's a tough question..imo
pseudokowski ...Saul "Sonny" Berman (April 21st, 1925 - January 16th, 1947) was only twenty-one years old when he left us due to an overdose of heroin on his first and last time. He was the youngest trumpeter to die in the history of jazz. Sonny was also a member of the Woody Herman band at the time of his death.
CLIFFORD BENJAMIN "BROWNIE" BROWN, SR. (October 30th, 1930 - June 26th, 1956): When I first saw this video, I couldn't hold back the tears. Just listening to Brownie's short conversation with Soupy left me awestruck. My mother has three LPs by The Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet: CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 26043), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH AT BASIN STREET (EmArcy MG 36070). She also has DINAH JAMS Featuring DINAH WASHINGTON (EmArcy MG 36000), JAM SESSION (EmArcy MG 36002), SARAH VAUGHAN (EmArcy MG 36004) and JAZZ OF TWO DECADES (EmArcy DEM-2). My Uncle Harold had JAY JAY JOHNSON SEXTET Featuring Clifford Brown (Blue Note BLP 5028), NEW FACES - NEW SOUNDS: LOU DONALDSON QUINTET Featuring Clifford Brown And Elmo Hope (Blue Note BLP 5030), NEW STAR ON THE HORIZON: CLIFFORD BROWN (Blue Note BLP 5032), A NIGHT AT BIRDLAND WITH THE ART BLAKEY QUINTET Featuring Clifford Brown/Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Blue Note BLP 5037, BLP 5038 and BLP 5039), BROWN AND ROACH, INC. (EmArcy MG 36008), CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH AT BASIN STREET (EmArcy MG 36070). He also had ARRANGED BY MONTROSE Featuring THE BOB GORDON QUINTET [Side 1] and THE CLIFFORD BROWN ENSEMBLE [Side 2] (Pacific Jazz PJ-1214) [released as a reissue twelve-inch LP, in February 1956] and JAZZ WEST COAST: AN ANTHOLOGY OF CALIFORNIA MUSIC (Pacific Jazz JWC-500). My Uncle Walter, Jr. had CLIFFORD BROWN WITH STRINGS (EmArcy MG 36005) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036). My Uncle Jim had CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and JAZZ OF TWO DECADES (EmArcy DEM-2). They all bought these classic LPs during Brownie's lifetime. I was almost three years old when the latter left us. As a matter of fact, Brownie was in Europe with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra featuring Quincy Jones, Art Farmer, Jimmy Cleveland, Gigi Gryce, Anthony Ortega, Clifford Solomon, Monk Montgomery, Alan Dawson, etc. when I was born.
One of the most amazing documents of youtube! Awesome. See Brownie talk .... and know further that it was a giant in stature, but a normal person! Thank you, thank you for this video. From Buenos Aires ..
Great to see this video on youtube again...this is, to my knowledge THE ONLY KNOWN video footage of Clifford Brown...I would love to be proved wrong on this...there were some audio phone conversations with a fan club member, and some audio snippets of Clifford practicing (warming up) here on youtube but I"m not sure they are still posted...BTW the estate of Clifford Brown is very dogged in their pursuit of copyright infringement and anything they can have removed they will.
the estate does not own the Soupy Sales tv franchise, so that is a ridiculous statement; secondly - YT is FULL of Brown music - probably every note he ever released
Drivethebeat listen to him playing Donna Lee from the Beginning and The End album, if you haven’t! (It was thought to be his last recording, but it was recorded a year before he died)
Brownie is STILL the gold standard for trumpet players. I don't say that just because he and I are from the same town. But all the trumpeters that came on the scene in the 60's wanted to play like him. I saw Freddie Hubbard once and heard him say that Brownie was the reason he started to play the trumpet. While all those players -- Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Blue Mitchell, Woody Shaw -- were also listening to Miles while growing up, they ALL wanted to play like Brownie. He didn't start to play the trumpet until he was in high school and just 6 years later started his recording career. He only recorded for 4 years but is on TONS of records...his own with Max Roach, Sarah Vaughn and Dina Washington used him a lot on their recordings. There was no one like Brownie. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out "Clifford Brown With Strings". Man...so lyrical.
I was really touched by this RARE chance to actually here my UNCLE speak. I grew up hearing his MUSIC but never heard him SPEAK..!!! He died when I was 2 yrs old. Also to hear him mention the birth of my cousin, his son...!!! This actually brought tears to my eyes. Thanks "logudorian".

Amazing man, he is our godfather and our greatest teacher 🎺 all the highest level of love to you and your family man, absolute pleasure xxx
The greatest trumpeter that ever laid his lips on a trumpet: Clifford Brown
Why there isn't a movie made in honor of this giant of jazz? Unparalleled musicianship and trumpet genius
You know how hard it is to get funding for a film on well known Jazz artist? Brown is only known to people who really listen to Jazz.
He lived too clean - no booze, drugs, hookers, or even cussing - so his life isn’t “interesting” enough. Instead we get biopics about Miles and Chet Baker
@tomasarmon3005 wow I didn't know that . I wonder what happened to his wife and kids

So fantastic. One rare document of a trumpet god.
When I was a kid my drum teacher quoted to me the common saying: when Clifford got to Heaven Gabriel was out a job.
Binker ...Now, that's what you call "Respect!"
A stunning post. I don't think there's any musician I'd rather listen to than Clifford Brown. Actual music on the TV in 1955-56? I was born 5 months after Clifford died in the car accident. Amazing.
So very rare of an incredible performance! Thank you so much!
Whoever found this gem...thank you for Brownie AND Soupy Sales!
There’s no telling how famous Clifford would have become. He seems in this short clip like a humble modest man. The world lost someone special that day.
Humble and most man dosent matter. The realy important is that guy play better them everyone
@@JL-bu8bz and that’s why I commented on how special he was and how famous he could’ve become.
@@JL-bu8bz Yes it does, it's why you could hear his beautiful soul in every note he played. Think about it.

A trumpet improvisation god.
best trumpet tone ever

From Soupy’s On! At WXYZ in Detroit, hosted by Soupy Sales. Thanks for sharing.
Extremely humble. Gone way too soon!

Brown and White Fang.

Hadn't heard this one before, but it fits my plans to release a tribute album to Clifford Brown. Him blowing his nose would produce a 5-star album!
I LOVE YOU CLIFFORD
THE MOST AMAZING TRUMPET PLAYER I KNOW !!!!
The one and only..........Clifford Brown, ladies and gentlemen; in this legendary clip.
RIP Clifford Brown, taken away on that fateful night, at just 26. The cleanest musician in the business, whose only vice was chess playing.
this is the sound that I wanted, and after more than forty years of playing, am still not there. Very lyrical. The man Himself, Brownie
Clifford's lip is tired and still he kicks so much butt.I wish I played this good when my lip goes bang bang .long live Clifford Brown.

CLIFFORD BENJAMIN "BROWNIE" BROWN, SR. (October 30th, 1930 - June 26th, 1956): When I first saw this video, I couldn't hold back the tears. Just listening to Brownie's short conversation with Soupy left me awestruck. My mother has three LPs by The Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet: CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 26043), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH AT BASIN STREET (EmArcy MG 36070).

He didn't start to play the trumpet until he was in high school and just 6 years later started his recording career. He only recorded for 4 years but is on TONS of records...his own with Max Roach, Sarah Vaughn and Dina Washington used him a lot on their recordings. There was no one like Brownie. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out "Clifford Brown With Strings". Man...so lyrical.
