Clifford Brown plays trumpet & piano The complete Solo rehersals - Brown, Clifford 1930-1956 (Rare live records, 2009)
This release presents all of Brownie's private solo piano recordings for the first time ever on a single collection (including many unissued pieces) and all of his tapes practicing the trumpet unaccompanied at home. Among the many bonus tracks, we have included two previously unissued gems from Brownie's roots: a 1952 live performance of "I come from Jamaica" with a long trumpet solo, and a trumpet-alto sax duet version of "Ornithoogy", played with his teacher Robert Lowery in 1949 or 1950. This rare acetate constitues Clifford Brown's first recording ever!
