Clifford Brown: Trumpeter with Style
Great Sunday, today. Had fine shrimp and oysters for lunch. A short time ago, I relaxed and listened to some fantastic jazz trumpet. The horn man was the inspiring Clifford Brown. He was not around for long but he had a gigantic impact on bebop. His conception of jazz was so polished and his improvisatory approach had poignant freshness that was so superior in its burnished gold interpretations. I especially have always been impressed with the appealing approach Mr. Clifford Brown had with ballads. His work with another super horn person, Art Farmer, is quite super, also. The Lord bless Clifford Brown the truly great trumpet man from quite a while, ago. Clifford Brown and Art Farmer...two jazz greats, indeed!

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
