Born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1930 Clifford Brown was a hugely influential and highly respected trumpeter whose recorded output covered a mere four years before his tragic death at the age of twenty six in 1956.
AVID Jazz have chosen four classic albums as tribute to this great trumpeter for our next addition to the catalogue. ‘Brown And Roach Incorporated’ and ‘Study In Brown’ feature the legendary Clifford Brown and Max Roach group alongside new discovery Harold Land on saxophone, Bud’s brother Richie Powell on piano and George Morrow on bass. ‘New Star On The Horizon’ features Brownie with the incredible line up of Gigi Gryce on alto sax, Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, John Lewis on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art Blakey on drums. It’s back to Brown and Roach for our final album which sees the pair joined for a ‘Jam Session’ featuring Dinah Washington, Maynard Ferguson, Clark Terry and Herb Geller.
All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!
