"This study of a vitally important artist is a book for all jazz
collections."--Choice
"The Life and Art of the Legendary Jazz Trumpeter is the first full
biography of the man known as 'Brownie' and should be required
reading for any serious jazz fan. Catalano's account will
definitely have you, to paraphrase Benny Golson's famous
composition, 'remembering Clifford'."--Alabama Times
"A generation before Wynton Marsalis, Clifford Brown exhibited a
similar mastery of modern jazz phrasing, tone control, and trumpet
technique. Alas, Brown was never destined to achieve the fame and
rewards such rare talents deserved. His moving story with its wry
mixture of triumph and tragedy is now told with rich detail in Nick
Catalano's highly readable Clifford Brown: The Life and Art of the
Legendary Jazz Trumpeter."--Ted Gioia, author of The
History of Jazz and West Coast Jazz
"The author's enthusiastic and well-researched summary of Brown's
career should send jazz buffs back to their record collections for
serious listening."--Kirkus Reviews
