Bill Carrothers salutes the hard-bop trumpet giant, Clifford Brown. Carrother's CD “Joy Spring” is a jazz adventure, sensitive and thrilling, soulful and surprising. The trio takes a new look into each piece, and in the process comes up with totally organic forms. It is a highly individualistic reflection of a very unique magic.
