Discussion

This article says: "One of their hallmarks was to take a familiar standard and play the theme in mixed meters, treating it alternately as a waltz and straight 4/4 for several bars at a time. This brought a modern edge to such standards as Cole Porter's I Get a Kick Out of You."

What songs other than that one was this applied to? Sure, "I Get a Kick Out of You" is famous, but offhand, I can't think of other songs with multiple time signatures that they did. --dfrankow 21:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Love is a many splendored thing" receives a similar 3/4 || 4/4 treatment on the album "Clifford Brown & Max Roach at Basin Street" (1956). I thought I had heard a third song done in this style, but can't put my finger on it just now. Perhaps two songs recorded in this fashion doesn't qualify it as a "hallmark of their style". From the liner notes of "Brown & Roach Incorporated" (1954) I quote:

"Thad Jones, the great Detroit trumpet man, was responsible for the original routine on "I Get a Kick out of You", with its 3/4 effects, its rubato and syncopation; Sonny Stitt, another Detroiter and an old friend of all concerned, introduced it to Max & Clifford."

What can I say? If someone wants to remove the reference I can't object; unless I find a 3rd song...

Blueberry Hill receives this treatment — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.48.232 (talk) 16:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think someone oughta add a picture of Brownie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.88.218 (talk) 17:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clifford Brown's influence on Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, etc was much more than "considerable"-why not change that to highly influential — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glyph56 (talk • contribs) 10:43, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sandoval

I removed phrase about Sandoval "(no mean tribute, from a man who warrants serious consideration for that honour himself)". This is purely subjective and has no relevance in the Clifford Brown article. Reporting the fact that one trumpet player deems another one of the greatest is different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowhillway (talk • contribs) 02:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shiny trumpet?

In the bio. Someone explain how this isn't an embellishment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erviltnec (talk • contribs) 08:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Find a Grave

I was appalled when Philip Cross reverted my addition of Brownie's Find a Grave info. After all, don't such other jazz greats as:

also have Find a Grave references? Why not Clifford also?

I believe it's important to include information on a prominent person's final resting place, and that the Find a Grave template affords us that capability quite well. I noticed that most, but not all, of the articles I visited had the Find a Grave link in a separate "External links" section, rather than embedded in the article itself via a ref statement. So I'm going to take that path, inserting the link at the end, rather than trying to use it as the source of information. I hope this will satisfy editors such as Mr. Cross.

First mentions of Sonny Rollins

The great Mr. Rollins is first referred to just as "Rollins" in the first paragraph under "Later career". Only in the last paragraph of the same section is he referred to as "Sonny Rollins", with a link. Seems it would be better to put the full name and the link at the first mention.
