Best recording of a jazz (trumpet-) player with strings ever! Clifford is my alltime favourite anyway (for jazz), but with the strings backing him, he's magical.

Who wrote the string arrangments?
Neal Hefti
He conducted as well, probably contracted the date.
Max Roach, Drums
Richie Powell, Piano
George Morrow, Bass
Barry Galbraith, Guitar
This was Clifford Brown's working rhythm section with Barry Galbraith added. On the LP you can see about nine strings. It also appears to be a Besson trumpet Clfford Brown is playing. Third valve ring is underneath the third valve slide, lock is on top. Water keys on the tuning slide and third valve slide. Looks like a Bach mouthpiece although that's a bit tougher to see for sure.
Recorded January 18,19,20, 1955.
Here's how to play ballads.
1. Yesterdays
2. Laura
3. What's New
4. Blue Moon
5. Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man
6. Embraceable You
Side Two
1. Willow Weep For Me
2. Memories of You
3. Smoke Gets In your Eyes
4. Portrait Of Jenny
5. Where Or When
6. Stardust
Neal Hefti was a trumpet player, formerly with Woody.
Brownie evidently read everything down with only a couple of clams. This is a truly historic recording.

I'm pretty sure this is a Besson. I've heard the same thing about the Blessing, but I've also heard he played a Besson. He could have had a couple of horns you know. He could have played a Sears and sounded the same!!
