I was really touched by this RARE chance to actually here my UNCLE speak. I grew up hearing his MUSIC but never heard him SPEAK..!!! He died when I was 2 yrs old. Also to hear him mention the birth of my cousin, his son...!!! This actually brought tears to my eyes. Thanks "logudorian".

The greatest trumpeter that ever laid his lips on a trumpet: Clifford Brown

Clifford was pure talent.His bell was out of sight

So very rare of an incredible performance! Thank you so much!

So fantastic. One rare document of a trumpet god.

A true Virtuoso. Taken from this Earth way too young. RIP

Why there isn't a movie made in honor of this giant of jazz? Unparalleled musicianship and trumpet genius

Holy smokes that man could play

Priceless footage of Clifford Brown. Soupy Sales was a huge jazz fan and had many famous jazz musicians on his show including Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz and Miles Davis (6 times). I grew up watching his show.

When I was a kid my drum teacher quoted to me the common saying: when Clifford got to Heaven Gabriel was out a job.

There’s no telling how famous Clifford would have become. He seems in this short clip like a humble modest man. The world lost someone special that day.

A stunning post. I don't think there's any musician I'd rather listen to than Clifford Brown. Actual music on the TV in 1955-56? I was born 5 months after Clifford died in the car accident. Amazing.

A trumpet improvisation god.

Whoever found this gem...thank you for Brownie AND Soupy Sales!

best trumpet tone ever

Perfection itself, so lyrical, so pretty, great tone and great ideas. Nobody came close not then, not now.

Surreal experience to actually see the man play, like peeking into another dimension. That tone is immortal. Thanks for posting 🙏

Clifford Brown unlike other jazz musicians didn't do drugs or drink. Sonny Rollins was so amazed that Clifford could play that good without doing DRUGS. Sonny Rollins credits Clifford with saving his life. He stopped using drugs and is still alive and is 90.

An absolutely limitless fountain of musical ideas and absolutely no barriers between his musical mind and his instrument. The G.O.A.T.

Happy 90th Birthday, Brownie.

This "Soupy show" originated in Detroit. The band was composed of the Detroit cats. There were 2 Soupy shows, the lunchtime kids show and the late night Soupy show before Shock Theater. This was all live from Detroit. Oh and my dad Don Palmer was the bassist (also doubling on violin) on staff at WXYZ ABC's affiliate. The house band had 3 horns, guitar, bass, piano, drums, and accordion. Joe Messina the fine guitarist spoke of learning his style from horn players like Clifford Brown. When the top musicians toured through Detroit, they usually also played the Soupy Show! Occasionally I got to go to the station where the show was aired. but then I was 5 when this was recorded. But to see how Clifford handled the trumpet around the jazz structures is quite a treat.....And I've never seen this before! Thanks Logudorian!!

The one and only..........Clifford Brown, ladies and gentlemen; in this legendary clip.

I would have seen this. As a grammar school kid I was a Soupy Sales knucklehead. No wonder I love and play jazz 60 some odd years later

Extremely humble. Gone way too soon!

Hadn't heard this one before, but it fits my plans to release a tribute album to Clifford Brown. Him blowing his nose would produce a 5-star album!

Oh Mr. Brown you were always good! Happy Birthday and God Bless You!

This is the most surreal thing I’ve ever watched

Thank you Soupy for showing us such musical masters.

From Soupy’s On! At WXYZ in Detroit, hosted by Soupy Sales. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man, this was great. It's always a treat to see the old masters on video. My dad left me his great jazz collection and CB has a sound and has become one of my favorites

Comment les médias peuvent ils laisser dans l'oubli un artiste de cette dimension quelle honte quand on voit toutes les chèvres qui sont portées aux nues dans les chaînes télévisées. C'est totalement coupable de laisser les gens dans l'ignorance d'une telle beauté artistique et d'un tel génie Chapeau bas pour Mr Brown !

One of my all-time favorite TV personalities with one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. Both have provided lots of pleasure to audiences over the years. This must have been around 1953-4, years before Soupy left Detroit for New York.

85th ANNIVERSARY HIS BIRTH TODAY!!! CLIFFORD BROWN (October 30, 1930 - June 26, 1956), aka "Brownie", was an American jazz trumpeter. He died at the age of 25 in a car accident,

@speakeasynyc Clifford was and is a national treasure. He was taken to give Gabriell a rest. His playing on "With Strings" is angelic and will never be matched.

A great, great musician whose life and career was brutally curtailed by that terrible car accident in June 1956. No Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Wynton etc without him. From all accounts, he was a very nice man. Nobody had a bad word to say about him, even after sixty years. His best tribute is the glorious music he left behind.

Wonderful

Awesome sauce, the sweetest tone of all time. SO wonderful to have visuals of Brownie for us who were too young to have ever seen him. Thanks for posting.

Love this. Rip maestro

Two geniuses, Clifford Brown and Soupy Sales..

Wow, thanks to the up-loader for this rare video gem of Brownie....had no clue that Soupy was a jazz fan.

RIP Clifford Brown, taken away on that fateful night, at just 26. The cleanest musician in the business, whose only vice was chess playing.

I would drop everything , everyday for lunch with Soupy....this is why..the music. Four years old and it was about the music!!

In heaven. Mean & Clifford. Chills.

I LOVE YOU CLIFFORD THE MOST AMAZING TRUMPET PLAYER I KNOW !!!!

Clifford's lip is tired and still he kicks so much butt.I wish I played this good when my lip goes bang bang .long live Clifford Brown.

In every autobiography I've read on Jazz musicians they all state that Cliffords passing was one of the biggest losses both personal and professional. In listening to him play I can see why. If you can hear this "Brownie" play us a tune would you.

this is the sound that I wanted, and after more than forty years of playing, am still not there. Very lyrical. The man Himself, Brownie

Check out that dance. Soupy is my hero!

貴重な映像有難うございます。

The greatest, Clifford Brown. Wonderful melody feelnng Truly one of the most progressive tp. players of all time. Thanks for the memories.

Would have loved to see him and Lee Morgan on stage. Two of the greats.

Great tone,great phrasing

A little sad to hear that he just became a father, knowing that he wouldn't be with his son very long. At least he had the joy of fatherhood for the rest of his short life. I love listening to him play, and listening to the interview.

what great tone clifford had he didnt need to switch horns he had it all

Clifford Brown = Wynton Marsalis....So many similarities. Awesome technique and then the blues. Not to mention a beautiful sound.

Brownie Lives !

Commemorating this jazz great, the City of Wilmington, DE. celebrates a yearly Jazz Festival in his name.

That's love making there

CLIFFORD BROWN . Fantastic !!!!!!

Soupy Sales, a great friend of Jazz

I wonder what it would be like if Clifford played I remember Clifford

his tone sounds so warm and full

/Como eu amo esse gênio...

sad that this is the only footage of clifford playing but amazing that it was discovered after being lost for 40 years

finally have a chance to watch that humble giant thank yu very much for postin

Redbox code DVD night It's very Cool that Soupy Sales had jazz music on his show. You know he was a jazz lover and in his glory having Clifford Brown on his show! What great footage this is. thank you for Posting it.

Forgot to say, "Thank you, up-loader." My apologies for something which is greatly appreciated

Happy Birthday Clifford !

Thanks for this one. Clifford Brown, one of the greatest or the greatest!

And thanks again.

My trumpet playin' friend and small group member Dan in '63 said he liked Clifford Brown's trumpet playing better than Diz's. Sure can see why. From Fats to Brown to Dorham passes the baton. Good to see my man doin' so well! And in Detroit too! "nuff of these depressing album covers sometimes.

ブラウンの映像があるんですか～😮🎺🎶🙏🙏感動しかありません😢

Brownie, Bird and Tatum should have played, and recorded together.....imagine that!!

I always like to revisit the virtuosity of the great Clifford Brown. This is one of the very few films of Clifford playing live. He also makes a cameo appearance in the film "Carmen Jones" during the Max Roach scene on stage.

Este material es una belleza, una joya, hablar de Clifford Brown .

Only uncultured, unwoke swine will give this a thumbs down. Love this clip!

Check out Soupy doing the Soupy Shuffle. LOL!!!

oh my god that is so sad. he died so young. best jazz player in history in my opinion. he was so happy about his new baby boy. i mean just look at his face. little did he know he would only be with him for a year

my god. BEAUTY!!

sou do Brazil, e Clifford foi meu primeiro idolo

Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Just saw a documentary on this great player...magnificent!

感慨深い〜♥︎︎∗︎*ﾟ◡̈︎*♚︎‧*˚✩︎‧₊˚ アップ有り難うございます💖

I agree Brews, Theodore "Fats" Navarro was pinancle in Cliffords development. He did get some lessons from "Fats" before he passed in 1950.. Booker has Amazing Compositions & playing and to think he passed at age 23!! . Lee Morgan, again great player & Composer and as the rest died very young. Booker being the youngest..I play Trumpet and I cannot name one favorite. I'd name at least 10 Trumpeters because that's a tough question..imo

Thanks for posting. Great document.

A diamond in the rough. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful - Thank You

One of the most amazing documents of youtube! Awesome. See Brownie talk .... and know further that it was a giant in stature, but a normal person! Thank you, thank you for this video. From Buenos Aires ..

これ程素晴らしいトランペット吹きは今だにいません。

CLIFFORD BENJAMIN "BROWNIE" BROWN, SR. (October 30th, 1930 - June 26th, 1956): When I first saw this video, I couldn't hold back the tears. Just listening to Brownie's short conversation with Soupy left me awestruck. My mother has three LPs by The Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet: CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 26043), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH AT BASIN STREET (EmArcy MG 36070). She also has DINAH JAMS Featuring DINAH WASHINGTON (EmArcy MG 36000), JAM SESSION (EmArcy MG 36002), SARAH VAUGHAN (EmArcy MG 36004) and JAZZ OF TWO DECADES (EmArcy DEM-2). My Uncle Harold had JAY JAY JOHNSON SEXTET Featuring Clifford Brown (Blue Note BLP 5028), NEW FACES - NEW SOUNDS: LOU DONALDSON QUINTET Featuring Clifford Brown And Elmo Hope (Blue Note BLP 5030), NEW STAR ON THE HORIZON: CLIFFORD BROWN (Blue Note BLP 5032), A NIGHT AT BIRDLAND WITH THE ART BLAKEY QUINTET Featuring Clifford Brown/Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Blue Note BLP 5037, BLP 5038 and BLP 5039), BROWN AND ROACH, INC. (EmArcy MG 36008), CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH AT BASIN STREET (EmArcy MG 36070). He also had ARRANGED BY MONTROSE Featuring THE BOB GORDON QUINTET [Side 1] and THE CLIFFORD BROWN ENSEMBLE [Side 2] (Pacific Jazz PJ-1214) [released as a reissue twelve-inch LP, in February 1956] and JAZZ WEST COAST: AN ANTHOLOGY OF CALIFORNIA MUSIC (Pacific Jazz JWC-500). My Uncle Walter, Jr. had CLIFFORD BROWN WITH STRINGS (EmArcy MG 36005) and CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036). My Uncle Jim had CLIFFORD BROWN AND MAX ROACH (EmArcy MG 36036), STUDY IN BROWN (EmArcy MG 36037) and JAZZ OF TWO DECADES (EmArcy DEM-2). They all bought these classic LPs during Brownie's lifetime. I was almost three years old when the latter left us. As a matter of fact, Brownie was in Europe with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra featuring Quincy Jones, Art Farmer, Jimmy Cleveland, Gigi Gryce, Anthony Ortega, Clifford Solomon, Monk Montgomery, Alan Dawson, etc. when I was born.

Great to see this video on youtube again...this is, to my knowledge THE ONLY KNOWN video footage of Clifford Brown...I would love to be proved wrong on this...there were some audio phone conversations with a fan club member, and some audio snippets of Clifford practicing (warming up) here on youtube but I"m not sure they are still posted...BTW the estate of Clifford Brown is very dogged in their pursuit of copyright infringement and anything they can have removed they will.

素晴らしいを越えて、 なんとも言葉がありません。

Great music. Play it again!

R.I.P.Clifford Brown also NANCY - RICHIE Powell!

Was listening to the Memorial Album yesterday wanted to see some live footage of him and discovered Soupy Sales had a show like this!

I didn't know that! I'll look for it. Thanks!

a jewel gracias !

Thanks, man.

Thanx 🌹🌹🌹😎

O maior trompetista de todos os tempos! Imaginaram se não tivesse morrido tão jovem? Lourimar
