Clifford Brown ( October 30, 1930June 26, 1956) was an American jazz trumpeter.

He performed with Chris Powell , Tadd Dameron, Lionel Hampton, and Art Blakey before forming his own group with Max Roach.

Playing in a hard bop style, he quickly became one of the most highly regarded trumpeters in jazz.

Brown died in a car accident at the age of 25.

The clean-living Brown has been cited as perhaps breaking the influence of heroin on the jazz world, a model established--intentionally or not--by Charlie Parker.
