HELEN MERRILL / With Clifford Brown ・Vol.1

[@riptheripper9060]

Is this off the 1954 LP that a 21 yr old Quincy Jones produced? Fabulous. Helen is still alive at the age of 94; bless her heart❤😇 I see where her only child Alan Merrill became a singer/songwriter in the 70's for a British band called the Arrows. He wrote and recorded "I Love Rock N Roll". This song of course became a huge hit in 1982 as a cover by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. He sadly passed away in 2020. Also, very nice Swiss made "Nagra" 4.2 reel to reel. Love the Polar Bear in background. 😀🐻‍❄️

Thank you for the detailed explanation. HELEN was married and living in Japan. She can speak a little Japanese. I didn't know about her son.

Clifford Brown was a up and coming composer, trumpeter and pianist. He had four outstanding years of recordings until his tragic death in an automobile accident at the age of twenty five. Terrible. He's playing with the angels.😇
