Mar 1, 2008 · The complete classic album Clifford Brown with Strings, one of the most lyrical albums in the trumpeter's career and an indisputable Jazz classic featuring six bonus ballads taken from different 1953 sessions in New York and in Paris.
Tracks #1-12 originally issued as "Clifford Brown With Strings" (EmArcy MG 36005). Personnel: Clifford Brown (tp), Richie Powell (p), Barry Galbraith (g), George Morrow (b) and Max Roach (d). Neal Hefti (arr, cond) plus 6 violins, 2 violas, 1 violoncello. Recorded at Fine Sound Studios, New York City, on January 18, 1955.
All of these pieces were arranged by Neal Hefti. The rhythm section is Richie Powell on piano, George Morrow on bass, and Max Roach on drums. This group of musicians doesn't get a chance to stretch out like on the bebop recordings, but they provide terrific backup for Brown.
From the opening tune, "Yesterdays," the strings of Neal Hefti set off a mellow mood, and then in comes the trumpet, and the song belongs to Brownie. His renditions of these sumptuous melodies are as emotional and expressive as the songs themselves, all standards -- the very best.
