Although he died in a tragic car accident at twenty-five, Clifford Brown
is widely considered one of the most important figures in the history
of jazz--now, in this absorbing work, Nick Catalano gives us the first
major biography of this musical giant.
Based on extensive interviews
with Brown's family, friends, and fellow jazz musicians, this is a
fascinating portrait of a remarkable musician. Catalano colorfully
depicts Brown's life, showing how he developed a dazzling technique that
few jazz players have equaled. We read of his meteoric rise in
Philadelphia, his tour of Europe with Lionel Hampton, and his formation
of the Brown-Roach Quintet with prominent drummer Max Roach. The book
also features an informed analysis of Brown's major recorded solos,
highlighting his originality and revealing why he remains such a great
influence today.
