The Clifford Brown & Max Roach Project featuring Scotty Barnhart and Clayton Cameron
SEE EVENT DETAILS
In the mid-'50s, there was no group in the hard bop idiom hotter than the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet. They burned up bandstands for two-and-a-half years, until 1956, when a fatal auto accident claimed the lives of Clifford Brown – considered one of the top trumpeters in jazz – and Richie Powell (brother of Bud Powell), a rising star on piano. It was a tragic blow for the jazz world. Acclaimed trumpeter Scotty Barnhart, together with ace drummer Clayton Cameron and special guest Grant Stewart on tenor saxophone, pay tribute to one of the most influential bands in the history of modern jazz.
