"I Remember Clifford", a jazz composition written by saxophonist Benny Golson in remembrance of trumpeter Clifford Brown, who suddenly died in a car accident in 54' while on way to a gig in Chicago, is so creatively constructed by jazz pianist, Oscar Peterson. For me, it's pure joy!

Among my very favorite tracks.

Enjoy,
Mark

note: If you enjoy this composition, Google Lee Morgan, another young musician who met death far too soon, playing the same composition. Lee Morgan was taught by Clifford Brown.

I found the Rudy Gelder recording. Rudy had studios in Hackensack and then Englewood Cliffs, NJ. They were top of the line studios. Many jazz artists recorded there.
