Clifford Brown - Oh, lady be good - Memories of you

[Carizmojones]

The one and only..........Clifford Brown, ladies and gentlemen; in this legendary clip.

[GLibares]

One of the most amazing documents of youtube! Awesome. See Brownie talk .... and know further that it was a giant in stature, but a normal person! Thank you, thank you for this video. From Buenos Aires ..

[whateveruwantittobe6]

I'm singing this song in a showcase and I want him to come back to life and accompany me.

Oh sweeet and lovely lady be good, Oh lady be good to me. :)

[MrDr143]

oh my god that is so sad.

he died so young. best jazz player in history in my opinion.

he was so happy about his new baby boy. i mean just look at his face. little did he know he would only be with him for a year

[killerj0e]

@MrDr143 it's a toss up between Morgan and Brown, for me.

[keybobrob]

good ole soupy....thnks for being the guy that provided a lot of support for these masters

[Kristyrich77]

Oh man, this was great. It's always a treat to see the old masters on video. My dad left me his great jazz collection and CB has a sound and has become one of my favorites

[djlovaglio]

What a great player he was. Such a shame that all the great ones leave this earth!

[scowell]

thank goodness for Soupy Sales! Not a lot of video of CB out there.

[Gminor7]

A stunning post. I don't think there's any musician I'd rather listen to than Clifford Brown. Actual music on the TV in 1955-56? I was born 5 months after Clifford died in the car accident. Amazing.

[tpstrat14]

it's obviously horrible quality sound, but clifford still sounds like clifford.... aka AMAZING!!!!

[HLeaBall]

Hadn't heard this one before, but it fits my plans to release a tribute album to Clifford Brown. Him blowing his nose would produce a 5-star album!

Este material es una belleza, una joya, hablar de Clifford Brown .

[speakeasynyc]

Awesome sauce, the sweetest tone of all time. SO wonderful to have visuals of Brownie for us who were too young to have ever seen him. Thanks for posting.

[jazzhd1]

@speakeasynyc Clifford was and is a national treasure. He was taken to give Gabriell a rest. His playing on "With Strings" is angelic and will never be matched.

[dreadtodred]

what great tone clifford had he didnt need to switch horns he had it all

[zealsalgado]

Many thanks for a fine post! 3 minutes of musical "truth", not a single sound wasted!

[adeduction]

Amazing solo on OhLadyBeGood. Lots of time he does sound like the best trumpet player ever. Went to a Sunday matinee show @theModernJazz Room in Chicago in '56 when I was 12 to see Max Roach Quintet. Don't know if this was the gig Brownie was headed to cause nobody said anything - just know that I got Kenny Dorham & Billy Wallace's autographs & not Brown's & Powells. Max Roach signed the table card 'Best Wishes Always' & I glued his picture over his autograph cause was a wannabe drummer then.

[MrShakbo]

Sweet some actual footage of "Brownie" thanks for the post.

[KDFrieds]

the best. So sad he was taken from us way to soon.

[teemingup]

Best trumpet ever

[bhsisthebest]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[leftywilbury]

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. BROWNIE.

[MrHillelSalem]

I LOVE YOU CLIFFORD

THE MOST AMAZING TRUMPET PLAYER I KNOW !!!!

[gabri3l367]

CLIFFORD BROWN . Fantastic !!!!!!

[joensab]

This was one of if not the greatest...gone so young :(

[mikegalan]

Beautiful music,thank you for posting.

Soupy mentions that Clifford was on his show 8 months prior to this one.

Anybody got a copy of that ?

[colegramo]

Quel musicien merveilleux ! Il avait tout, la technique, l'imagination, la poésie...

[pappajon313]

I would drop everything , everyday for lunch with Soupy....this is why..the music. Four years old and it was about the music!!

[JGH55]

The only known film of "Brownie", thanks to Soupy for inviting him and for discovering it years later in his archive. FYI, Clifford used the soft lip technique and and was such a wel-practised trumpeter that his lips did NOT get tired.

[olivierbarjot]

Clifford's lip is tired and still he kicks so much butt.I wish I played this good when my lip goes bang bang .long live Clifford Brown.

[minicannonball13]

@olivierbarjot do you play that well if your lip is not tired? if you do you should get a record contract

[supercenere]

Grande!!! Non riesco a far meno di te e delle tue note....

[heftybefty2]

Check out that dance. Soupy is my hero!

[Danro05]

its amazing how clifford and miles can be so similar but so different at the same time. its so plain to see the influence brown had on players like miles and hub

[RaananVolesPianist]

It would be something if Soupy had Pookie dancing around to this.

[rymden]

The greatest, Clifford Brown. Wonderful melody feelnng Truly one of the most progressive tp. players of all time. Thanks for the memories.

[solostrad]

it is sad that this is the only known video of brownie. this song is kinda boring and the recording quality is horrible.

[pvelectric]

My trumpet playin' friend and small group member Dan in '63 said he liked Clifford Brown's trumpet playing better than Diz's. Sure can see why. From Fats to Brown to Dorham passes the baton.

Good to see my man doin' so well!

And in Detroit too! "nuff of these depressing album covers sometimes.

[pvelectric]

@zappacrappa2 acknoledged, and thanks for this history. to me at the time I was just going upon the albums I found at jazz stores in LA, so since Clifford had died his albums were rare when I started turning on to jazz in 1960. In retrospect I remember many of the greatest post-Bird sax players were all getting Dorham to be their sideman, and record companies often gave Dorham top billing.

LEGEND.
