Real Name:
Clifford Brown
Profile:
American jazz trumpet player.
Born October 30, 1930, Wilmington, Delaware, USA; died June 26, 1956, Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA in a car crash.

He was encouraged by both Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro, that latter of which was Brown's main influence. He performed with R&B bandleader Chris Powell (3), Tadd Dameron, Lionel Hampton, and Art Blakey before forming his own group with Max Roach, the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet.

In June 1956, Brown and Richie Powell were being driven from Philadelphia to Chicago by Powell's wife Nancy for the band's next appearance. While driving on a rainy night on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, west of Bedford, she lost control of the car and it went off the road. All three were killed in the resulting crash. Brown is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery, in Wilmington, Delaware.

He won the Down Beat critics' poll for the ‘New Star of the Year’ in 1954; he was inducted into the Down Beat ‘Jazz Hall of Fame’ in 1972 in the critics' poll.

I can't avoid the fact to be absolutely fascinated by his warm,powerful,sensuous,virile sound & perfect technique.He had it all to be the best one,& in fact he is ( one of the most influential figures in Jazz ever).If you are a Lee Morgan,Donald Byrd,F Hubbard,Blue Mitchell (...) fan and can't explain why,so you also admire (strongly as I do) this man,but perhaps still ignore this fact.Personal fave: C Brown & Max Roach 1954 (btw my 1st purchased Jazz record a long time ago & still Amazing !)
