I Remember Clifford (song)
- I Remember Clifford (song)
"I Remember Clifford" is the name of a jazz threnody written by jazz tenor saxophone player Benny Golson in memory of Clifford Brown, the influential and highly-rated jazz trumpeter who died in an auto accident when he was only 25 years old; he and Golson had done a stint in Lionel Hampton's band together.
The song became an instant standard, as musicians paid tribute to Brown by recording their personal reading of it. Golson later said:
: " [it] took me several weeks, but I'd never written a composition like it before. I wanted to create a melody that the public would remember, and associate it with [him] ."
"I Remember Clifford" is also the name of an album by Arturo Sandoval; the entire album is a tribute to Brown, who was a great influence on Sandoval, and features Golson's tune.
