Review by Nathalia Peixoto

The album Joy Spring A Tribute To Clifford Brown by Bob Summers Quintet is a brilliant and heartfelt tribute to the legendary jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown. The album showcases the quintet's exceptional musicianship and their deep appreciation for Brown's music.

Each track on the album is a joyous celebration of Brown's classic tunes, such as "Joy Spring," "Daahoud," and "Sandu." Bob Summers' trumpet playing is exceptional, and his tribute to Brown is both respectful and innovative. The other members of the quintet, including saxophonist Dan Higgins, pianist Tom Ranier, bassist Trey Henry, and drummer Peter Erskine, provide excellent support and create a solid foundation for Summers' playing.

The arrangements on the album are tight and polished, and the quintet's chemistry is evident in every track. The album captures the spirit and energy of Brown's music, and it is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest trumpeters in jazz history.
