Old Standards

I seem to be in a musical mood this week, so I'm going to recommend a song everyone has heard before, Stardust. Today I'm going to suggest you listen to the version played by the great trumpeter, Clifford Brown.

Clifford Brown died at the age of 25 in a car accident, but left a substantial body of work especially for someone as young as he was. Jazz was really his love, but he did make a more mainstream album called With Strings, which contains a number of beautiful renditions including Stardust.

You can find Clifford Brown's music in the jazz section of most large music stores, or you click on either the amazon.com or cdUuniverse.com logos on the right side of this page and go to Clifford Brown. A very affordable album with some truly great music. Enjoy.
