Speak to me, Clifford! Man, I'll put this solo up against anything Fats, Diz, or Miles ever did and you'd be pressed to convince me this doesn't top them all. What's always amazed me about Brownie is how he can play so fast and yet make every note stand out. That said, everyone is cookin on this cut. Thanks for posting.

Harold Land is so underappreciated.

[60otaku3]

I also think so.

And it is very unfair for him.

I swear, Max can't even keep up with it. His hi-hat off beats stray back onto the beat :)

Great clip

One of the greatest musicians to walk the earth, clifford brown

[conorroe28]

I just walked this song for 5 min on bass. Im dead. I dont know how Morrow does it

[Roysonor]

I feel the pain on my hand just of thinking playing this on drums

[santsok]

if you search for "grp cherokee" you'll get a modern version of this using clifford's solo as the head instead of cherokee. pretty cool as a fast-bop thing and worth a look.

@LaMaisondeCasaHouse What makes it even worse is he sounds smooth as butter the whole time and it is on an upright bass. If I tried to play like 80% this tempo it would sound frantic as hell on just an electric.

Listenin' To These Fellows Makes Me Proud To Be a Jazz Fan!

55 years ago today he left this world so tragically. RIP Brownie.

A lot of musicians speak of Clifford Brown as being a shy and humble guy who was always on time for sessions and always brought his best to playing the music. That's something to be respected, especially when you sound this good.

@bopguity fuck yeah he is, I wish more horn players would check him out
