"I Remember Clifford" melodic analysis

Benny Golson was one of the all-time great jazz tenor saxophonists, and until his recent death at age 95 he was one of the elder statesman of jazz - a vital connection to the history of the music. He was an extremely melodic improviser and composer, with many of his compositions becoming jazz standards. In this video post, I discuss his use of melodic development in one of his most famous and most beautiful tunes, I Remember Clifford.
