Luscious Rendition of “I Remember Clifford”

The jazz world was devastated when Clifford Brown died in a late night auto accident in 1956.  Only 26 years old and still growing and maturing as a jazz trumpeter, Brown’s death left a huge whole in the jazz world.  Benny Golson penned a tribute to Brown, “I Remember Clifford,” which the New Horizons Jazz Band covered in its June 10, 2016 gig in Middleton.

Here’s a gorgeous rendition of this tender ballad by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
