"This is Clifford Brown with strings, I was a teenager when I first heard this incredible album - the depth is in it's subtleties - and Clifford is so perfect with the string writing of Neal Hefti. 

It's a true blending of classical and jazz. 

The first thing I knew - this is funny – I recognised the name Neal Hefti from the Batman theme! 

For me as a trumpet player I study Clifford Brown - as an arranger I study Neal Hefti, so this brings both those worlds together - and it did so when I was back in high school when I discovered this recording- this is my One LP!" 

Orbert Davis: Symphony Centre, Buntrock Hall, Chicago. 15th May, 2013
