About the artist

Clifford Brown & J.J. Johnson

CLIFFORD BROWN: Profile: Slick, smooth, and soulful, Clifford Brown was a trumpet virtuoso who left an indelible mark on the jazz world in his tragically short life. Born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1930, Brown's undeniable talent quickly catapulted him to the forefront of the bebop scene, earning him praise from legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. His fluid, lyrical style and impeccable technique set him apart from his peers, solidifying his place as one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 1950s. Tragically, Brown's promising career was cut short in 1956 when he died in a car accident at the age of 25, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire musicians to this day. J.J. JOHNSON: Profile: If you're talking about the trombone in jazz, you can't do it without mentioning J.J. Johnson. The man revolutionized the instrument, turning it from a background player to a front and center star. Born in Indianapolis in 1924, Johnson quickly rose through the ranks of the jazz scene, collaborating with the likes of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Known for his impeccable technique and smooth, lyrical style, Johnson's influence can still be heard in the trombone players of today. He wasn't just a virtuoso, though – Johnson was also a skilled composer and arranger, constantly pushing the boundaries of what was possible with his instrument. Though he may not have been a household name like some of his contemporaries, Johnson's impact on the world of jazz is undeniable.
