[Dixielandjazz] Don Goldie

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

I seem to remember hearing the masterful cornetist Don Goldie discuss in a radio interview the post-1950 trumpeters he admired. 

It's an impressive list.  It is 

Clifford Brown. (ends)


(the only basis I can imagine to an aversion to Brown is a very narrow habituation to the precise pitching, overtones etc., requisite to the harmonic basis of post-Parker jazz.  Some people are exceptionally sensitive to that. The first thing the late Stanley Dance mentioned in his obituary to Hugues Panassie was the Panassie ear.  Perhaps people can now start talking about Mezz Mezzrow?).
