Clifford Brown - Memorial Album (Blue Note Classic)

The incomparable trumpeter Clifford Brown recorded two leader sessions for Blue Note in 1953 (a co-led quintet date with Lou Donaldson and his own sextet date) that were compiled on the Memorial Album shortly after his tragic death in 1956. The album features an incredible band, from Lou Donaldson on alto sax, Elmo Hope on piano, and Art Blakey on drums. Brownie's star burns bright from the blistering "Cherokee" to the stunning ballad "Easy Living."

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal in Germany.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Blue Note in 2024.
