Faculty of the Univ of Delaware display top-notch artistry on impressive outing guided by Clifford Brown’s music, sprinkled with impressive originals! One of jazz’s giants, Clifford Brown, was born and raised in Delaware’s largest city, Wilmington, so it seemed natural and compelling to honor Brown’s legacy and the state in which he was born as a theme guiding the music on this album.
