		While with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958-59) Golson wrote "Along Came Betty," "Blues March" and "Are You Real?" He then worked as a freelance in New York and studied with the composer Henry Brant.
		From 1959 to 1962, with Art Farmer, he was leader of the Jazztet, a group with varying personnel that proved a successful vehicle for Golson's writing; the ensemble was revived (with one of its original members, Curtis Fuller) in 1982 for a tour of Europe and continues to perform and record in the later 1980s.
		From the late 1960s Golson worked in films and television, composing music for the major studios, while continuing to write arrangements on a freelance basis.

		Like the most of this album, it is performed by the Sextet, which is a modified version of Golson's late Fifties/early Sixties Jazztet and features Art Farmer on trumpet and Curtis Fuller on trombone.
		Later, on "Blues Alley," Golson's Sextet pulls out all the stops and rocks hard (if that can even be said about a jazz tune) on this propulsive ensemble piece.
		A final, and all together different viewpoint of Golson's writing skills, is found with "On Gossamer Wings," which is handled solely by pianist Lara Downes.

	Remembering Clifford - Benny Golson - Music Reviews
		Benny Golson was moved by the death of bop trumpeter Clifford Brown to pen the classic "I Remember Clifford." Now presented with the opportunity to do an album in honor of his old friend, Golson assembles a sextet and presents an album that takes the idea of "I Remember Clifford," thoroughly...
		Re-doing his best known tune as "Brown Immortal," Benny also does a remake of "Five Spot After Dark," long a set-list staple.
		Golson's horn is pure honey, sounding every bit as wonderful at age 69 as many players would hope to be at half his age.
