I am ALWAYS emotional hearing people speak so highly of my uncle Clifford. As a family member we always held him in high regard but to hear OTHER PEOPLE echo our sentiments is something WONDERFUL....!!!
It took me til adulthood to know how splendid your Uncle played. To think he wrote Joy Spring for his wife is the most beautiful gesture of love. And so young!!!! ❤❤❤
Your uncle is a inspiration and always will be a influence and inspiration to jazz musicians to the end of time, his contribution considering his age is actually unbelievable. David Bahar Edinburgh Scotland x
Clifford Brown? No question regarding the genius level of the brother.His spirit remains amongst us and his music runs all through the universal musical realm.His voice is everywhere!
Clifford and Fats were poets. Like Schubert, both cut short while on the road to immortality. Technique wedded to inspiration. You will not hear their like again.
Great interview with Max - loved that he shared a different perspective on Clifford as being “hard” when it came to being paid, other things I’m sure - paints a fuller picture of the wonderful man.
Clifford was a special person and I think that his "clean living" and brilliance musically stood out. He is so highly regarded and hearing Max's anecdotes gives a new dimension to his personality. In some ways, the sentiment towards Clifford reminds me of comments about Christy Mathewson in "The Glory of Their Times".
I really enjoyed that. I first heard Max in 1973 on a record I bought in Phoenix AZ. This the first time I heard his voice. Clifford Brown in my opinion is the best trumpet player. I always feltClifford, Max, and Bird should've made albums together with Bud Powell and Tommy Potter
Every autobiography of the major jazz musicians mention their deep admiration of "Brownie" and their tremendous sadness over the premature passing of Mr Clifford Brown. The man could make you weep by playing that trumpet.
Many of today's young trumpeters are from the Clifford Brown Conservatory of Music, so to speak. They all have techniques, expressive and emotional delivery, plausible tonal effervescence, and much more. Among these students are Wynton Marsalis, of course, Chris Botti, Rick Braun, Tom Brown, Sean Jones, Dominick Farrenacci - a very melodic and tonally lyrical performer who utilizes both the trumpet and flugelhorn very effectively - amongst many others.
+Ryan Kisor I have two or three a capella-like trumpet CDs bearing the insignia "Ryan Kisor". Extension of pathos for involuntarily neglecting to include you in the collage of excellent contemporary trumpeters - an honest oversight, deservedly manifested by omission however. Love your Donald Trump-Marco Rubio Presidential Standard English Language - an accurate revelation and testimony of your void trumpet knowledge and capabilities.
Clifford Brown and Fats Navarro are two names that are revered by jazz writers. Somehow, I've managed to be a fan of the music for 40 years without getting to know their music. The interview with the majestic Max Roach is MUCH appreciated. As an amateur astrologer I note that Clifford was a Scorpio, as am I. Max tells about a side of Clifford, very much in keeping with his sun sign, "That's a rough little guy there." Roundtree was absolutely hilarious. Thank you, so much, for sharing.
thank you. I'm a new fan of Clifford Brown; i've been searching for visuals, video in particular of him; this testimonial regarding him is kool. again thank you.
Nice video Petro, very much appreciated. Rayford Griffin has released his version of "Cherokee" featuring Roy Hargrove. As we know the original recording was by his Uncle Clifford Brown. The new tribute arrives summer 2013
Yes, and my cousin Rayford gave me a copy of his tribute when he came to Atlanta with Peter White. It was so nice to see Rayford "do his thing" and I was floored when I heard Rayford SING at that performance....!!! Man, such TALENT....!!! (but I may be a little 'bias'....)
Any remnants of interviews or conversations with either Max or Clifford are wonderful. Besides the Soupy Soup TV clip are there any other clips of Clifford available. I'd love to see any footage of the most beautiful trumpet player of all time. Yes, even more so than Miles or Diz. Thank you for this one.
I was SHOCKED when I stumbled across that Soupy Sales TV clip. And it brought tears to my eyes to actually hear my uncle Clifford SPEAK...!!! All my life I grew up hearing his music and stories about him but to ACTUALLY HEAR HIS VOICE.....blew me away.....!!!
That's what black people called betting on race horses at the RACE TRACK aka The Kentucky Derby and such. My father was Clifford's brother and that was a typical summertime family activity at the Delaware Race Track (in Wilmington DE). In fact, Clifford was there the day before he died in that car crash.

Are you Leon’s son? If so, I can share an interview that I did of your father in the early 1990s. Let me know.

I noted that Max Roach and Clifford Brown were the Pair Extraordinaire. I loved to listen to them on songs like Joy Spring.

Great little interview from Max.
Clifford was the best to ever do it.
👊🏻

Great job ❤
He was a Beast Trumpeter. Great Talent. The only question we have to ask ourselves, "What if ?".

I second the others -- this is a wonderful discussion to hear. Thank you so much for posting!
What a lovely, thoughtful remembrance. I am going to spin their album now.

I totally agree! However, when I heard my uncle Clifford's VOICE during the Soupy Sale TV performance...THAT made me weep....!!!

Fantastic, great insight!
Right on musikaudios
Great stuff. Hilarious stories from 3:58 to 6:15.

What a lovely rave
@funkylensz Thx !
I loved the interview! I'm just curious, what at 7:34 did Max mean by 'playing the horse'?
davis ginn I was curious about that myself, my guesses are that he meant bet on horse races, or was into horseplay, or the basketball game H.O.R.S.E.
Gambling on the races

must be around 1979 or 1980
