Saxophone Saxtet - I Remember Clifford - Benny Golson

This is me playing with the members of the Diemer Harmony. I am also a member, but I play the 2nd clarinet.
The Diemer Harmony is a Wind Orchestra in a town called Diemen, very close to city of Amsterdam.

Here is a small video of one of our concerts

This was recorded in March 2009. On this day almost all the members of the Diemer Harmony were playing songs on their instruments.

About I Remember Clifford:
I Remember Clifford is the name of a jazz threnody written by jazz tenor saxophone player Benny Golson in memory of Clifford Brown, the influential and highly-rated jazz trumpeter who died in an auto accident when he was only 25 years old; he and Golson had done a stint in Lionel Hampton's band together.

The song became an instant standard, as musicians paid tribute to Brown by recording their personal reading of it. Golson later said:

"It took me several weeks, but I'd never written a composition like it before. I wanted to create a melody that the public would remember, and associate it with him".

I Remember Clifford is also the name of an album by Arturo Sandoval; the entire album is a tribute to Brown, who was a great influence on Sandoval, and features Golson's tune.

Thanks for watching and Enjoy :D
