If you like hot '50's jazz with singers... - jazzboCR - 24-01-2015
...then you will groove to this piece, a compilation disc of trumpeter Clifford Brown * with 4 of the best female singers of the '50's. Courtesy of Ron Weinstock's blog, here's a review of a marvelous 3-CD set of this guy w/ drummer Max Roach in all-star settings: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2012/12/clifford-brown-with-great-jazz-singers.html << available at the Usual Suspect for a steep price (and one of those weird situations when used copies sell for almost 2X the new price). That's Canadian Maynard Ferguson playing those crazy high notes. Review of 1 of the included Dinah Washington discs: http://www.allmusic.com/album/dinah-jams-mw0000615510
BONUS: The Dinah Jams disc complete: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75aZSevFwqU << not sure if this is from the re-mastered set I'm pimpin'
* Tragic story here--Mr. Brown was killed in a car crash at age 25. We lost a beastly good player/composer that night.
