I know he'll never be forgotten He was a king uncrowned I know I'll always remember The warmth of his sound Lingering long I'm sure he's still around For those who heard they respect him yet So those who hear won't forget The sound of each phrase Echoing time uncountable by days The things he played are with us now And they'll endure should time allow Oh yes I remember Clifford I seem to always fed him near somehow Every day I hear his lovely tone In every trumpet sound that has a beauty all its own So how can we say something so real has really gone away? I hear him now, I always will Believe me I remember Clifford still

Much appreciated! Thanks for sharing. The other day I found that a Db7 instead of the diminished chord at 0:34 harmonize much better with the melody line

If anyone cares, the musicians on this are: Steve Fidyk, drums, Jim Roberts on bass, and me, Tony Nalker on piano. We recorded this at Bias Studios in Springfield, VA for the Hal Leonard Jazz Playalong series 10+ years ago, produced by Mark Taylor (the series now has nearly 200 books).

Great. Slow. Nice)
