The Al Hood Quintet: Remembering Clifford Brown | Nov 17

Clifford Brown was one of the great jazz musicians of the 20th century. Noted for his lyricism, pure tone, and graceful technique and was one of the key figures in the emerging hard bop scene of the early 1950’s on the east coast. Although his life was tragically cut short by a car accident at the age of 25, Clifford’s legacy and recordings still have a heavy influence on musicians today, especially those who take up the trumpet.

Trumpeter Alan Hood hails from the upstate New York town of Pumpkin Hook and has been performing for more than 35 years. Mr. Hood toured the world with the Phil Collins Big Band as a featured soloist and also appearing with the orchestras of Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, Harry James. He has shared the stage with Ray Charles, Doc Severinsen, Natalie Cole, Manhattan Transfer, Arturo Sandoval, Jon Faddis, Conte Candoli, Clark Terry, Curtis Fuller, and Wynton Marsalis, to name just a few.
