NO RESERVE! -- INSURANCE IS COMPLIMENTARY AND PAID BY SELLER -- BLUE NOTE BLP 1526 -- CLIFFORD BROWN MEMORIAL ALBUM -- Rated 4 Stars in the AMG -- This is BLUE NOTE'S 1st compilation album released in 1956 after the sudden death of young trumpet player and amateur mathematician CLIFFORD "Brownie" BROWN.
This is one phat disk, weighing in at 191 Grams!!
_____ Like swing guitarist Charlie Christian, Clifford Brown was incredibly influential for someone who died so young. The Fats Navarro-minded trumpeter was only 25 when a car accident claimed his life in 1956, but his influence remained long after his death -- Freddie Hubbard,Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, Donald Byrd, and Carmell Jones were among the many trumpet titans who were heavily influenced by Brown. In the early to mid-'50s, Brown kept getting more and more exciting; those who found him impressive in 1952 found even more reason to be impressed in 1955. Brown's solos are consistently expressive; he swings unapologetically hard on up-tempo tunes, and is always quite lyrical on the ballads. One thing all of the performances have in common is a strong Fats Navarro influence; Navarro was Brown's primary influence, although Brown became quite distinctive himself at an early age.
