BENNY GOLSON

Golson was working with the Lionel Hampton band at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in 1956 when he learned that Clifford Brown, a noted and well-liked jazz trumpeter who had done a stint with him in Hampton's band, had died in a car accident. Golson was so moved by the event that he composed "I Remember Clifford", as a tribute to a fellow musician and friend.

Everyday on KUVO and KVJZ our mission is play tribute to JAZZ, blues and many of the musicians in our world community, while we tell listeners about them.
