You nailed it, Tim.  Calling all figs, hipsters, and music lovers in 
general! Please listen to this stunning 4-minute track of Clifford playing 
"I Can't Get Started." His virtuosity is at the service of melodic 
invention. If the soulful, creative interpretation doesn't move you, I wish 
you love and a heart transplant. Comparisons to Bunny Berigan are 
irrelevant, except to pay tribute to the genius of both men.

Charlie, thank you for that stunning performance by Clifford Brown. I don't 
know how anyone could say that Clifford is not playing Jazz. Even if you 
don't care for that style of Jazz, anyone with any musical taste at all 
should be able to recognize Clifford's genious.

I'd be willing to bet my first born that both Louis and Bix would have loved 
that performance.
