Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring

[@JoshRosenblumMusic]

That's a nice bari sax that Max Roach is holding in the picture...

[@juanfichtl2011]

+JoshRosenblumMusic lol

[@billfair525]

Yeah.. Thought it was a flugelhorn, but after a 2nd look... ~g~

[@RealShrigmaMale]

Max Roach doesn’t play the saxophone.

[@RealShrigmaMale]

It's actually Art Blakey playing a trombone.

[@xyvd]

Im crying laughing right now

[@Bigfatquizzes]

I am eighty years old. I bought my first record with Miles Davis on it in 1951. I bought my first record with Clifford Brown on in 1954. I have spent time over those years listening to both. For me the better trumpeter was Clifford.Brown. Without question the photo is Miles. Without question the music is Clifford.

[@geraldnichols2722]

How can one be "better" than the other when they play like that?

[@jamesedwards5748]

Yeah I don't understand the picture of Miles Davis. Clifford was in his early 20's.

[@hanskristianharbo4005]

You are perfectly right about Clifford Brown, he's a better player and a better composer. I don't how he was as a person, but I definitely like the impression I get through his playing. A warm and sensitive person full of humor and joy of playing. That's what jazz is about.

[@kp6880]

There were a number of trumpet players around at the time who were every bit as good, or better, than Miles - but he had the surly, cool-boy image and the record companies promoted him over them......

[@albertbrown359]

All were masters of their own feelings and revelations as musicians. Most African Americans connect to the person and their spirit without comparing.Cant you just listen and feel without comparing.Its rather obnoxious.You boys are always involved in pissing contests. African Americans respect all our musicians because we know their story.

[@sleeper600]

Thanks for the accurate line up. Awsome awsome awsome. One of my favorites ever. Beautiful! I heard it the first time in 1978 when my college roommate played his old Clifford Brown records for me. Wow!! Thanks for posting. Perfect!

[@brucescott4261]

Ray Asseily ...JOY SPRING was written and composed by CLIFFORD BENJAMIN BROWN, SR. It was recorded on August 5th, 1954 at Capitol Studios (the old KHJ Studios, located at 5515 Melrose Avenue) in Hollywood, California.

[@fishynathanfilms]

This video gives me a Joy Spring

[@lynnanncastle77]

This is one of my favorites! Clifford Brown Joy Spring. AWESOME! Short life for great player and composer. When I was in college - a long time ago - my classmate who had a double major in music and drama invited me to his dorm room to listen to this record. I will never forget it.Every time I hear it played it brings me Joy!.

[@chrishajianmusic4136]

Not sure why there is a photo of Miles... But a sublime recording.

[@qz3bmz]

Beautiful, beautiful music, how good it can be; Clifford was and is SO SPECIAL. Thanks for the post, Don

[@jxferenge6809]

Can you imagine being there to hear this in person back then ? It is a wonderful aspect of my imagination to pretend I did or wish I did. 😀

[@stan278]

What great memories this brings back,hanging out with your head tight on some smoke and blow from Harlem to the Bronx and Manhatan my home..

[@kristawhitepiano]

I'm so obsessed with this tune right now. Can't get enough! Finally memorized the head, yaaaay :)

[@corywilmoth4873]

Doing the same

[@sasagitcrew437]

Clifford did so much in such little time. imagine if he were still here alive, it'd be legendary..

[@colemanglasser4815]

Whenever I hear this song i feel so inspired

[@jimmckrell4189]

the solos on this tune, especially Clifford Brown's, are textbook great - some of my favorite improvised solo playing for all time and all instruments

[@stevecontigiani6415]

clifford brown makes me smile

[@bernardmurphy4762]

Watches like that were NOT around when Clifford was alive!!!!! I do believe :)

[@goatwithat]

It's also Miles Davis in the pic which would probably explain it :P

[@davelasorte44]

I'm from Wilmington. Grew up like 4 miles from Clifford Brown's home...

[@nadav20000]

Clifford's solo- perfection.

[@jlvjazz]

One of the best solos ever......

[@179cpv]

Great tune! You can hear the sheer joy of music making in Brown's beautifully constructed solo. At times it sounds like he's singing through his horn. What a tragedy to lose this great artist at such a young age.

[@SeanLeonDrumz]

One of my favorite solo's Clifford ever played, Pure perfection.

[@dwightmoore8679]

Love the way they flow thru each key

[@OdoardoLeverattus]

i really love clifford pic... his facial expression really represent this astonishing music. it could be none else but him :D

[@Omgshoes017]

this track is great.... the head played so smooth and mellow

[@sandraeckelhofer]

Clifford Brown - trumpet Harold Land - tenor saxophone George Morrow - bass Richie Powell - piano Max Roach - drums delightful! thanks, TheJazzplaylist 💖 love those cats. and Miles, as well 😉 "Joy Spring was composed by Brown in honor of his wife, whom he called his "joy spring". She had been introduced to him by Roach as a student working to prove in her thesis that jazz was inferior to her field of classical music, a thesis Brown convinced her was mistaken." (Wiki) love that story 😍

[@gwloganpoet]

Listen to a study in Brown, Clifford and Max at their best.

[@Nadhege]

This is Clifford Brown straight up! Wish they featured his picture!

[@mobydickmcconn]

I transcribed Cliffords solo on this. So good. Definitely one of my favorites. :)

[@Ir77iridium]

Let's not get too deep here. This is just one kick ass tune and a damned hard one to play! But the name says it all, Joy Spring. You just feel great playing it, (if you can).

[@moondoggarvey4282]

And I clicked on it thinking I was the only one who would've noticed! Of course with all these comments it just proves Jazz fans are the smartest fans. BTW it's circa 1970 owned by Express Newspapers/Getty Images.

[@memdnnfj]

This man left this earth much, much too soon. makes one wonder. Is he in a better place?

[@kadircaglayan2578]

Yes. So sad he died so young. He had so much potential.

[@HasteTwo]

I just love how Clifford gives such nice contrasting styles of playing in a single solo.

[@TheGlass50]

This is great stuff. Thanx so much for posting. Yet another landmark in human achievement.

[@jazztrumpet76]

I'm playin Clifford's solo for my college jazz audition. awesome piece!!

[@kingpleasure]

You mean to tell me that you couldn't find a photo of Clifford Brown for this and had to put one of Miles on it? Sorry, but that's lame.

[@heirling25]

😂😂😂

[@NetMoDM]

I'm sure there has to be a decent pic of Clifford somewhere, right??

[@davekana8388]

I was going to say the same, agreed!

[@gregrichardson6533]

Came here to say this. WTF man. It's like one of those, "I'm gonna tell my kids this is Clifford Brown" memes

[@ВалерийБагаев-д1к]

Где видео с Клиффордом?

[@jamminjim]

At 61 just finding out about Richie Powell and been a jazz fan & player since 19. He's his own man,but found him similar to Hank Jones. Yes too bad about the wrong pic,but look at all the listeners Clifford and his ensemble still have !

[@rommilazzo7823]

Absolutely gorgeous.

[@prestokrevlar]

Right off the bat with that lick...

[@BassClefPower]

Clifford Brown's solo on this song may very well be the best solo I have ever heard. Also of note is the tasteful comping.

[@Seeb521]

When I used to learn this song for 1 years as a Pianist and today a Orchestral hired you. I JIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[@juanllopisplanas4485]

que maravilla ..!! que felicidad poder oir algo tàn maravillosamente creativo...

[@gioco1234]

Questo brano,Bellissimo, è stato registrato il 6 agosto 1954 a Hollywood nei Capitol Studios, fa parte dell'album Clifford Brown and Max Roach con Harold Land sax tenore, Richie Powell piano e George Morrow contrabbasso.

[@sfisk301]

yup, right away I was like wtf, that's Miles! Still great to hear Clifford Brown, another great one taken from us too soon...

[@Arborwaychet]

Clean and effortless centred playing (trumpet) no over blowingevery change delineated and a beautiful full sound across the whole range of the instrument. Add to that incredible musicality and an articulation that is really compelling.

[@kipil1]

Love this tune - and never realized just how difficult it is to play until i tried...very humbling. Sounds effortless the ways these guys play it...but the changes are a beast!

[@corywilmoth4873]

So much chromaticism.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Definitely my next venture for keys and kit.

[@TyedSoul]

I truly enjoy this tune.

[@Dtruthseek]

Great cut. These guys could sure play. Wish I could get that simple, laid back swing. When I hear modern guys do this song it's kind of frenetic and not the same vibe. Especially liked piano player for this, Richie Powell. Maybe I just haven't heard enough versions or don't get out enough.

[@grandmasterharpyeagl]

great solos, great technique by clifford and great rhythmic complexity by roach as well as his brushing

[@davebraseth6882]

The best - EVER!

[@LidianetaPires]

Eternamente.. O melhor som...a mais sensual música...JAZZ..

[@melo4087]

One of the best Jazz songs ever.. Way to disrespect the artist tho by having Miles as the wallpaper lol

[@geraldnichols2722]

yare, I thot it was Miles too!

[@Groovinator90]

MH DOOM on Pandora they have Auturo Sandoval as the artist. smh

[@kjones5723]

Guess Clifford Brown can't get no love ... or props

[@flamingoru9788]

MH DOOM

[@melo4087]

Alex C-M what's good?

[@nadirsharav]

awesome drum solo

[@JamesZitoMusic]

is no one going to mention that that's miles davis?

[@TheMoonchildiva]

yeah, that picture is Miles..............but thanks for posting this wonderful tune!

[@IlarioSchanzer]

THIS IS JAZZ !!!!!

[@NetMoDM]

Still one of my all-time faves of trumpet players

[@nrn07]

tragic story about mr. clifford brown. look it up. greatest trumpet player of all time. what could he have done if he was able to continue on.

[@KaylahH]

Just got the sheet music to this, and even by just sight reading it, I loved it!

[@garybesem]

***** Hi Vince For years I had been looking for a transcription of the intro but to no avail.I now have a handwritten copy of the piano intro to Joy Spring.If you sent an email to me at [e-mail] I could let you have a copy in pdf format. Gary Hendrickse

[@KaylahH]

I actually transcribed the first part to the trumpet solo for homework. It was tedious, but worth it!

[@garybesem]

Great stuff!

[@worsley1000]

Never knew that Clifford bore a Striking resemblance to Miles....

[@bobthompson3739]

Terrific response, I'm thoroughly impressed

[@ricardomourapais8416]

Thank you

[@socksoclocks]

God I love Harold's tone.

[@dblanc3870]

That intro is so good.

[@ירדןישורון]

?why is there a pic of jimi hendrix on this insted Clifford Brown and Max Roach

[@Mikatale]

ירדן ישורון it's not Jimi Hendrix its Stevie wonder

[@bobthompson3739]

It's neither, it's Miles Davis.

[@ירדןישורון]

that aint mailes davis, mails daivis play sax not trumpet

[@Mikatale]

the guy in the picture plays the trombone

[@bobthompson3739]

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you had no idea who Miles Davis was.

[@CisforClarinet]

I Love Clifford!!!!!!

[@Ronnybengt]

love this song and the players epic

[@benh2202]

AWESOME..!

[@gprosser11]

Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring ..

[@pterocopter]

the a section is in concert f, then it goes up a half step for b section, then the bridge or c section is up another half step, and then it goes back to concert f for the a section once more

[@jazz1bro]

What a genius and you know him by his sound and approach. I hear where Blue Mitchell and others adopted his approach.

[@Jerryba2468]

A blow is like a trumpet - anybody with a trumpet in his hands will do to replace The One and Only Clifford Brown!!?

[@michaelguzman7567]

So good

[@TheJayyy09]

so killin

[@ALMAR-Music-Ltd.]

that.s Clifford man!!

[@ramadeldib4184]

Always a great feeling seeing Ravi Shankar with his magic Sitar!

[@bsmellocats]

1:Clifford Brown, Harold Land, George Morrow, Richie Powell, Max Roach 2: Post Bop 3 AABA Coda 4: I am a big fan of Clifford Brown. It it truly tragic what happened to him. He could have gone on to be one of the all time most popular jazz musicians, possibly as well known as dizzy, miles, or louis.

[@kedimy]

Wonderful to listen to. Thank you for sharing. Kedimy

[@mustafa1name]

Jon Hendricks is credited as a co-writer, but he just added lyrics decades later - not part of the original work at all. Joy Spring was Clifford's name for his wife, Larue. She was a music student who wrote a thesis to demonstrate the superiority of classical music over jazz. Clifford told her "Honey, the whole world is not built around tonic/dominant.” and married her in 1954. He died two years later, she passed away in 2005

[@c0nk2879]

R.I.P. Clifford :(

[@davidkroenlein4685]

Smoothe!!

[@mjdsax]

Miles could only hope to play like that. Clifford is the man!!

[@nours1961]

photo de miles sur clifford brown et max roach ... bravo les gars !

[@BarryArgyle]

C'mon.... that's Miles not Clifford.

[@garybesem]

The performance is by Clifford Brown.The picture is that of Mile Davis.Ouch!

[@davidpeterson9930]

The covers to all his videos are of Miles

[@palmerpalmer7743]

I know thats Miles. His photo was just headlining the string of music on youtube. Stevie Wonder would know Miles by looking at him😊¤{{*¿*}}¤

[@RudeBoy-hx1fn]

Kyle Benford ... What, did you think I didn't recognize the picture or something? My point was that the uploader uploaded a video with the wrong guy's picture on it.

[@benfordrums]

***** lol

[@aymanboujlida]

Why the fuck Miles Davis is in the photo!!! give the great Clifford Brown his credits and put his photo !!!!! :/

[@jassfreak87]

@burrcak if you're referring to cliffords playing. it's a special way of tonguing that allows brass players to accent the note without breaking the sound

[@davegalloway2191]

Anyone who thinks this is Miles is uninformed. No doubt it IS Clifford Brown.

[@srandallc]

i don't think so

[@louiseposnick402]

+Sam Merrill ...indeed..Clifford is unmistakably the best Trumpet player ever....why they have a pic of Miles is beyond me...oh we'll Joy Spring everyone..and that is NOT Miles playing.'

[@corywilmoth4873]

Omg! Haha

[@galabyca]

It reminds me some Sim City songs. Building street, building and economy while listening similar smooth jazz. But of course, this one is better!..

[@jorgeluispurizagamoj]

FABULOSO

[@tlawengmophosho4848]

Spring can be sensed

[@lindadellorto7286]

Yes, it's Clifford playing, Miles' photo, and Harold Land on tenor.

[@OdedFriedGaon]

this thing forces you to move your shoulders and pose a BIG smile!

[@metalmilitia137]

for everyone saying how this is a picture of miles and not clifford: he puts a picture of miles on every jazz video

[@music1900jbp]

I've always loved this tune. Oscar Perterson has a very moving version.

[@holygroove2]

@karinablacktie - I'm pretty sure that's Sonny Rollins on Tenor! Harold Land was a drummer if I remember correctly...unless there's another cat w/the same name.

[@DEADNIGHTWARRIOR93]

not all black trumpet players look the same, just saying..........

[@ideasonek3374]

DEADNIGHTWARRIOR93 XDDDDD love the comments

[@corywilmoth4873]

Ikr. Wtf

[@NetMoDM]

I'm glad someone else realizes that wasn't Clifford Brown..............

[@waynetorontomusician8172]

Wait...you mean there's another black trumpet player besides Neil Armstrong?

[@kennethtownsendligthhouse2757]

Horn in song always make it better

[@kszimmerman]

That would be Harold Land. I had to play a section of his solo for an audition. He was the tenor player before Sonny Rollins

[@DHL1930]

Yes, you've already said as much. Well, I'll just let these two trumpet players continue battling on within the confines of your mind while I, at the same time, realize fully that one's own personal opinions are just that -- merely personal -- and always more important to the person holding them than to anyone else. And so let the opinions, declarations, and proclamations fly free and for all they're worth -- which is seldom, if ever, anything at all.

[@DavidWilliams-sp8gv]

Fucking Brownie chopping it up big time. My fav tune of his Joy of Spring, legendary!

[@TheDodoman3000]

aww yeah, check out that behind the beat on Clifford's solo :D

[@Etwizzy99]

Clifford's work with Max Roach was the height of the bebop era. Miles copped many thematic elements of his work and built off of them, launching himself into the height of his career, after Clifford's death.
