Tracks list

       Description



At the peak of his musical powers, Benny Golson recorded a number of projects
for Arkadia Records. Among those recording sessions, he performed 17 of his
original compositions, including his most famous songs, many of which became
Jazz Standards. This commemorative release presents a retrospective of his
historic career starting 70 years ago when he joined the Tadd Dameron band in
1953, then forming The Jazztet with Art Farmer in 1959.

Inspired by his friend, noted trumpeter Clifford Brown, who died in a car
accident in 1956 at the age of 25, he wrote one of his most famous songs, I
Remember Clifford, followed by numerous standards including Stablemates, Killer
Joe, Blues March, Whisper Not, Along Came Betty and Are You Real?, all of which
