This is the only clip I've found of Clifford on line so far and I've been looking. If you find anymore, please let me know. After I listened to "At Basin Street," he instantly became my favorite trumpet player. Too bad his life was cut so short.

The Clifford Brown-Max Roach quintet was already one of the best in modern jazz, but when they added Sonny Rollins to the fray in late 1955, it became a lineup for the ages.
