Clifford Brown was killed in a car crash on June 26, 1956 when he was 25 years old.
- From 1953, with Gigi Gryce, Charlie Rouse, Percy Heath, John Lewis and Art Blakey, "Brownie Eyes"
Brown seems to me to be simultaneously the most trenchant and the most lyrical jazz trumpeter, and I think his music is some of the most beautiful jazz ever recorded.
