Clifford Brown
Day 59
#20 – Clifford Brown (1930–1956), aka ‘Brownie’. American jazz trumpeter. Recordings include the albums: Daahoud (1954), Clifford Brown & Max Roach (1954) and Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street (1956).
Clifford Brown, who by all accounts was a brilliant trumpeter, was tragically killed in a car crash aged 25. Overlapping the first and surname using the ‘O’ made a cross, and by using Futura Heavy suggested a tyre, which seemed appropriate.
