Yea great post. Arrangement sounds great - its exactly like the original Clifford Brown Max Roach version. So maybe this tune is a sort of tribute by one great trumpet player to another. Billy Root is underated too. When he was just 22 he played (& really played fantastic) with Clifford on Brown's last recorded session - at Ellis Tolin's Drum Shop In Philly. And to quote the CD liner notes 'Today, he (Root) plays in Las Vegas showbands.' And so I read, did Red Rodney. Thanks a mil 4 the post.
Always great to hear Red and this tune. Just want to say that the descending line the tenor plays is not something that Clifford's groups did.
