Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan, 1955 on EmArcy

Later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, this was Vaughan’s second self-titled LP, and her second studio album. The band also includes Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Roy Haynes on drums, Herbie Mann on flute, and Jimmy Jones on piano.

It was originally recorded December 18th, 1954, and released in 1955. What a masterful set of recordings.

My copy—via private sale—is the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue from 2021, on 180 gram vinyl, with a gatefold cover and an inner liner about the series and the role of Quality Record Pressing and Chad Kassem.

Clifford Brown 1930-56
Trumpeter Whose Brief Life Left a Lasting Mark

"Overlooked" not by jazz fans but by NYT Obits

Brown was 23 "but already 1 of the most promising trumpet players in jazz when he joined forces "w/ Max Roach in 1954. Their 1st album…"came to be regarded as a classic in the annals of modern jazz… In less than a year, the quintet would be the talk of the jazz world. In less than two years, Brown would be dead."

This is the second record I picked up with the Christmas gift card from my dad.

Talented trumpeter Clifford Brown left a lasting legacy. Sadly, he left this world at the very young age of 25.
