One good thing about old age is that I was able to see this group (and many others) at Basin Street East. I believe the other group was the Bobby Scott Trio... not sure, though. That's the bad thing about old age...lol
First Bird and Diz, then Cliff and Sonny! Way up there among the greatest bebop artists ever, Brown and Rollins are here playing a jazz standard with some very difficult to master chord changes. Both versions advertised well worth buying on CD. When in 1963 my trumpet playing partner told me the greatest trumpet players who ever lived were Fats Navarro and Clifford Brown, I said, "Who?"
Finding out that the pianist Richie Powell is Bud's little brother and even though Bud didn't teach him, he got to watch/listen to Bud practice; it give the piano parts a good deal of context harmonically and historically.
Great performance, great tune... though I don't think the difficulty level of the changes has much to do with it (@pvelectric). There's a tricky spot or two but I'll Remember April isn't exactly Giant Steps. And Sonny's little embellishment on the melody (1:47) gets me every time -- he's great.
The pedal intro has echoes of Mulligan/baker/ konitz. version. Unintentional probably but Chet's playing of the head isn't a million miles away. Both great stuff.
I believe harold was the best fit tenorwise for this quintet, sonny was the best substitute possible for LAND. Sonny fit pretty darn well though, I mean talk about some serious sax playing.
Härligt dynamisk musik av Brown, Rollins och Roach. Powell hänger som vanligt inte med och har inte mycket att bidra med. Synd att Clifford lierade sig med honom (även med tanke på bilolyckan).
This is like watching Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Mantle, and Robinson play ball........!!! What a thrilling time machine. Scorching energy here, with ideas, joy, and passion. Brownie was and is one of the giants of the game!!
Wow, long intro, really stretching out on that vamp. Brownie tearing things up, then Rollins ‘Oh yeah I can do that too’. Roach like a machine on the ride
The nice thing about Jazz, is that stars never mind and have never minded sharing the lime light. All contribute their own specialness, yet sound amazing together as well.
You mean ‘in character’ right? Surely not in playing! By the time you’re 75 you’ll be lucky if you can even pick up an instrument! Sonny Rollins at 75 was definitely an exceptional case.
@@icecreamforcrowhurst Unfortunately Sonny, more or less for 30 years, is playing the same thing, and with sidemen waiting the end of the choruses without end. I loved so much Sonny with Max Roach and then Jim Hall and Don Cherry in the sixties. I'm ashamed to tell that for the birthday of this great great man !
I love Brownie, and Max and Sonny are great, but I was struck with how tasty Richie Powell's playing is here. He's not Bud, of course, but he was a promising talent who died much too young
Clifford Brown ( gone to soon ) he was MAGNIFICENT ❗️I have Sarah Vaughan music and Helen Merrill mp3. I recently purchased a record player and I purchased Sarah V and Helen M records. The main ingredient that made me fall in luv with their music beside their voices were the sound of CLIFFORD BROWN Trumpet 🎺 I had no idea until I read the albums information.
take nothing away from sonny but i preferred harold land in this quintet i think hefit well with brownie .only an opinion .rollins was a great player.thanks
@womb0womb0 I agree pretty much with you, yet Diz historical importance hard to underestimate. You can hear Louie Armstrong in every solo almost of Diz. His showmanship, like during the 50s and 60s both were exporting jazz around the world. I'd argue that both Diz and Armstrong were important in teaching advanced ideas in the all-important cultural and political realms of US socialolical history too.
Have to disagree with both of you; Bud and Richie were miles apart. I honestly like Richie more, but Bud Powell's playing was very sax like (hence why he was often called the Charlie Parker of the piano) whereas Richie's is heavy and thick, very blues influenced. I think Richie was a million times better of a sideman, though.

@exjazzbassbaz I agree. I thought this album (Live at Basin St.) went downhill after the first 3 tracks. That is to say, the rest of the album was pretty good, but just not as good as what the superb first three tracks had set up. BTW, this is actually the alternate take of "I'll Remember April", and not part of the album. The first take that was on the album was just pure bliss. It was simply a far, far better version. Not coincidentally, it was also the 3rd track of the album..

I recorded with Bobby and Larry Elgart's Big Band in 1962...the recording, "Keep Movin' is still available on line!
The label was Seesac!
My point exactly! Coltrane and Monk at the Five Spot ca 1962-64). Saw Sarah at Basin St East in the late '50's (still in high school)
Wow! What a beautiful memory! Worth being old for having had that pleasure- lucky you!
@@princeandrey ...'Trane had his own group in 1962-64.
I bought all Clifford Brown at the time; a terrible shame he died so soon.

No one swings like that but Max. WOwza.
I will never complain about the advertising when that is the only cost of listening to a Clifford Brown solo. Thank you UA-cam.
Clifford used short brush strokes and the painting came out a masterpiece.
An example of Less is More.

I like photo of the whole group ! They look happy, as they surely where playind great music together.
This is the alternate master of I'LL REMEMBER APRIL.
IREMEMBERAPRILは私の大好きな曲です。クリフォードブラウン、ソニーロリンズ、マックスローチ、リッチーパウエルのコラボレーションはこの名曲を素晴らしいアイディアで演奏しています。ブラウニーは最高です。アップ有難うございます。
Love that drum solo!
Really something!!
beautiful!
What I've always liked about Clifford's playing is the way his playing "dances" above the music...
It's that impeccable timing along with that machine gun tonguing of every note, and fingers that most find impossible to keep up with :)
That's a good way to describe his playing.
Angels are dancing in heaven to that sweet sound
Well observed!
my favorite jazz recording :D
Great performance, great tune... though I don't think the difficulty level of the changes has much to do with it (@pvelectric). There's a tricky spot or two but I'll Remember April isn't exactly Giant Steps.

Clifford is unique......
Indeed!
He was a Fats Navarro disciple!

@helluvagun Thi is one of Brwnie`s best !!
náááádhera!
sorry ;) I mean: total magnificence
I believe harold was the best fit tenorwise for this quintet, sonny was the best substitute possible for LAND. Sonny fit pretty darn well though, I mean talk about some serious sax playing.
I did like Land. He was more lyrical than Sonny.

@diegoa90 February 1956.
I've done this score
@WAMEDJO calm down- we really don't care about your personal taste
I think the pitch is too high or too fast
I don't know what's the matter with you all? Brownie and Rollins beat you all!
Härligt dynamisk musik av Brown, Rollins och Roach. Powell hänger som vanligt inte med och har inte mycket att bidra med. Synd att Clifford lierade sig med honom (även med tanke på bilolyckan).
Inget större fel på Ritchie som musiker!
What he said...
Siete tutti morti,nessuno ascolta più ???
This Clifford guy was pretty good, right? I remember him!
I remember Clifford’s? 😉
They are all very good the musical “density” is infinitely greater than the density of the biggest black hole!!!
This is like watching Aaron, Mays, Clemente, Mantle, and Robinson play ball........!!! What a thrilling time machine. Scorching energy here, with ideas, joy, and passion. Brownie was and is one of the giants of the game!!
I realize that it has been 4 years (hope you are still with us jammin) , but I just loved the way you sewed 50's jazz and 50's baseball together!
Wow, long intro, really stretching out on that vamp. Brownie tearing things up, then Rollins ‘Oh yeah I can do that too’. Roach like a machine on the ride

sheesh. astonishing trumpet solo. his rhythm and time always gets me. god bless clifford brown
There’s a wonderful balance between all the musicians in this performance.
Brownie's chops had chops. Most people at 75 aren't 20% of the man he was at 24. One in a billion.
You mean ‘in character’ right? Surely not in playing! By the time you’re 75 you’ll be lucky if you can even pick up an instrument! Sonny Rollins at 75 was definitely an exceptional case.
Agreed!

Oh Brownie! Why didn't you go on the bus?
Ken Austin lol😂🤣😂🤣😁😁😁😄😃😅
@@Hubtones1 thats funny?
you almost made me cry
That's was Brownie's 1956 Buick Roadmaster.
I love Brownie, and Max and Sonny are great, but I was struck with how tasty Richie Powell's playing is here. He's not Bud, of course, but he was a promising talent who died much too young
Nicely put, Paul.
Yes Richie was good before he and Clifford switched to the harp masters.
Max Roach keeping time!!!!!!!
Great photos to go along with the wonderful music! Well-constructed music video.
if that isn't classic Sonny!
David Simeone
Rather a classic from all!
I love both Clifford and Sonny
The tenor sax solo fantastic, right to the point, don’t know who’s blowing it, dam good job at blowing.
Sonny Rollings
Thank you for the information.
No g 🙏
Love that still photograph
Wow. What a treasure he was and is
Clifford Brown ( gone to soon ) he was MAGNIFICENT ❗️I have Sarah Vaughan music and Helen Merrill mp3. I recently purchased a record player and I purchased Sarah V and Helen M records.

Insanity great again! Clifford Brown & Sonny Rollins.
ブラウニーとロリンズのjazzは、
演奏技術より熱い情熱の方が勝ること、伝えています。今も続く情熱は冷めることを知らない。
Probably my all-time favorite band. Nice to hear this alternative track again. Still prefer the original on the Basin Street album.
Blow Brownie, Blow
I was just born last night and I like this music!
Wow me too !
take nothing away from sonny but i preferred harold land in this quintet i think hefit well with brownie .only an opinion .rollins was a great player.thanks

Very sad bothe BIX and CLIFFORD died much too young!
the young master himself! thanks for this recording
but the piano player doesn't look like Kousei
Oh how I wish you were still with us. You could teach the younger guys a thing or two. You left us way way too soonz
Fantastic - Thank You
Love Clifford Brown. I play Jordu on the guitar. His grandson, who's still alive and well play trumpet too!
You can hear the influence/similarity of brother Bud in Ritchie Powell's playing.
Bud and Richie sounded so much alike, I guess it was a Powell's thing. smile.
Have to disagree with both of you; Bud and Richie were miles apart. I honestly like Richie more, but Bud Powell's playing was very sax like (hence why he was often called the Charlie Parker of the piano) whereas Richie's is heavy and thick, very blues influenced.

Perhaps, but Ritchie sounds like Bud on this number.
One of thee best bebop ensembles ever
Gracias amigo por subirlos. Saludos desde el norte argentino.

Who is the second tenor player? The album cover is blurred; looks like it might say Harold Land.
Just Sonny Rollins on this one!
cliford is perfect.

Fantastic ❤ i love singing it too. Musicians love it also when a singer calls that tune!

Can someone tell me is this the first performanc/recordinge of this Latin Style arrangement? Thanks.
I've been listening to jazz since 1950, and that's the only way I've heard it played. Of course, I haven't heard EVERY performance. :-)
