Clifford Brown

Anything goes here on Cosmosis.

Before that, you heard Dinah Washington doing the Cole Porter tune, I've Got You Under My Skin, and Dinah has a heck of of an ensemble backing her on that, including Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson, Clifford Brown, and Max Roach.

Yeah, amazing stuff.

Recorded in August of 1954 in Los Angeles, Dinah, Washington.

Larry P. Um, you gotta fall in love with it.

Larry P. Max Roach I listened to the study in Brown.

I listened to the whole album.

You listened to the whole album.

So it's been a good week for me.

With that said, let's go back to David Sanchez.

And after all of this jazz that dad has gorged, I mean, if you're going to listen to the Study of Brown from Clifford Brown and then listen to the 2000 David Sanchez, if you're going to be listening to Night Train from Oscar Peterson.

and everything in between, Matt Need to Breathe and myself with Flea's album, obviously it persuaded us one way or the other, or it discouraged us one way or the other from what is and what could be.

Yeah

... uh, you know, Clifford Brown books and C- and, um, uh, Django Reinhardt books, and all the-

Yeah

...

Wynton.

And, you know, he'd talk about Miles, he'd talk about Freddie, talk about Clifford Brown, talk about Fats Navarro, Louis Armstrong, all these great...

And, like, I don't...

And, I mean, maybe I just missed it, but I don't think Wynton's ever been anti-Lee Morgan at all, but that wasn't, like, one of his guys.

Same thing for me

... is a killer record.

I feel like I went, like, Clifford Brown to Freddie Hubbard somehow.

Yeah.

Instead, what he does is he simplifies his trumpet playing.

And the solos, they're not as good as, like, the Clifford Brown or the Dizzy Gillespie in my opinion, but they still are extremely effective.

And that's where you see it, where he's saying, "I'm gonna simplify to my level, but I will still find something that sounds really great." And then the next step after that, you start seeing this come out in spades, where like with modal jazz, it's like, okay, can we simplify it further? And will do something really interesting.

And he was always ...

And, uh, you know, from...

He loved Clifford Brown.

I, I remember him saying that, uh, he was sitting in the, in the rehearsal, uh, with Clifford Brown and, uh, he started tearing up from a solo that he was playing and how much that affected him on how he should play.

And Clifford Brown wrote Marcus's very first solo.

Wow.

And I know he played with everyone from Ellis Fitzgerald to Charles Mingus to the Temptations, the Four Tops.

Walter Benton was born in 1930, American hard bop tenor saxophonist.

He is famous for his session work with jazz icons like Clifford Brown, Max Roach, and also for his solo record, Out of This World.

George Maycock was born in 1934.

He was born in Panama, became a very influential jazz pianist in Europe.
