Brownie: Homage to Clifford Brown is an album by Helen Merrill , recorded in tribute to the trumpeter Clifford Brown .[ 1]
Merrill had recorded an album with Brown in 1954.
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Throughout the often emotional date, Helen Merrill is heard in top form, giving plenty of feeling to the lyrics while leaving room for the guest trumpeters".[ 1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as a "classic session [... that] acted as a superb vehicle for Merrill's individual approach to time".[ 2]
