Clifford Brown / The Complete Paris Sessions Vol.1

1984年、The Complete Paris Collectionというタイトルで4枚のLPが発売され、まとめて購入した。それらが3枚のCDになって再編成されたアルバム。CDのVol.1はLPのそれと全く同じ内容。LPのライナーノーツは油井正一氏が担当(1983年12月付け)。その中で、アート・ファーマーがクリフォード・ブランを語ったエピソードを引用している。以下はその抜粋。ブラウンというジャズマンを端的に表現している。

「正直にいって彼のトランペットの腕には嫉妬を感じたが、人間的には謙虚ないい男だったのですぐ仲良しになった。でも彼に会ったおかげで、トランペットへの道は、私にとって随分けわしいものになったことを感ぜずにはいられなかった」。
