H made his first records only four years before, and practically every recording he made should be required listenin; for any serious jazz devotee. The blues were an important partof Clifford Brown’s composing as well as his improvising, and three of his original on this play-a-long record are based on the blues form. Sandu is a straight ahead blues, Minor Mood isa minor keye blues, and Gerkin for Perkin (a reference to the late Indianapolis pianist Carl Perkins), is a blues with some of th altered changes that were popular at the time and found in such tunes as Bluesette and Blues for Alice. The Blue ‘Walk, also called Loose Walk and composed by Sonny Stitt, is sometimes attributed to Brown, Incidentally, Lo Donaldson also wrote a tune called Blues Walk, a minor blues which has no relationship to the Stitt tune except fo the title. Other Brown originals on this album that are based on the chord progressions of other tunes are Swingin (based on the 20s pop tune I Never Knew) and Sweet Clifford (based on Sweet Georgia Brown). The latter has melody that closely resembles Hollywood Stampede, recorded by Coleman Hawkins in 1945. Brown’s best known composition is Joy Spring, which is part of every jazzman’s repertoire and given new life i the late ’80s by the Manhattan Transfer with lyrics by Jon Hendricks. Almost as well known is Daahoud (the tit isa Middle Eastern equivalent of David). In the original recording, the chords the soloists use to play on differ fron the head in the fifth bar of the main strain; on this album the chythm section plays all chosures as on the original head Somewhat less often heard is Tiny Capers. The present version is in E flat as on Brown's own manuscript, thoug! Jack Montrose’s arrangement on the original recorded version is in B Flat. LaRue was never recorded by Brown though his widow, LaRue Brown Watson recalls that she first heard Clifford play it to her on a “starlit evening” o Santa Monica Beach in California.’ : ‘Two othier tunes on this album were staples of the Brown/Roach Quintet’s book. The band’s pianist Richie Powel (Bud Powell’s younger brother) contributed Gertrude’s Bounce, a tribute to Gertrude Abercrombie, a friend of th band's in Chicago. Jordu is probably the best known tune to come from the pen of Duke Jordan (why didn’t he cal it Dujor? No doubt that’s a question Jordan ponders daily); it used to be called on practically every session. Brown was a perfectionist in every respect. Some of his music is fairly difficult to play (eg. the head of Daahouc at the original tempo, quite a bit faster than the track here, and the second eight of Joy Spring in concert F#), anc a study of his solos will show that he had a formidible command of his horn, playing many things that were out of reach of most trumpeters. Using this recording will help you overcome these difficulties in your own playing.
