[Clifford Brown]

Unfortunately, Clifford Brown died at a young age and there aren’t enough recordings of him. He was a brilliant trumpet player and this standard is a must learn for anyone serious about studying bebop. It famously features a half step up modulation on the second eight bars and ii-V’s galore. The melody is worth learning to play on any instrument. Enjoy jamming with this Latin jazz version before checking out some of the classic versions below.
