The music of: Clifford Brown

Join us at the Domino for an evening dedicated to the legendary Clifford Brown, as the Tom Sharp quintet explore the music of arguably the greatest Jazz trumpet player of all time.

Tom Sharp has undertaken a study in Brown, and gives the work of probably the greatest trumpet player a bit more of the time that it deserves.

Single-mindedly obsessed with his compositions and playing from an early age, Tom and his quintet apply a san-du attitude to the fiendish bop and beautiful balladry that made Clifford Brown part of the jazz canon.
