Zijn leven en werk getuigen van een uitzonderlijke artistieke nieuwsgierigheid, discipline en een onuitputtelijke drang tot vernieuwing. Met zijn krachtige tenor-sound en improvisatietalent heeft hij generaties muzikanten geïnspireerd. Rollins groeide op in Harlem, een broedplaats van jazz en cultuur. Al op jonge leeftijd raakte hij gefascineerd door muziek, onder invloed van grootheden als Coleman Hawkins en Lester Young. In de jaren vijftig brak hij door met opnames als Saxophone Colossus (1956), waarop zijn virtuositeit en speelse improvisaties duidelijk hoorbaar zijn. Zijn composities, zoals “St. Thomas”, combineren Caribische invloeden met swing en laten zien hoe veelzijdig hij was. Wat Rollins bijzonder maakt, is niet alleen zijn technische beheersing, maar ook zijn filosofische benadering van muziek. Hij beschouwde jazz als een vorm van persoonlijke expressie en spirituele ontwikkeling. Dit blijkt onder meer uit zijn beroemde “bridge sabbatical” eind jaren vijftig, waarin hij zich tijdelijk terugtrok van het podium om intensief te oefenen op de Williamsburg Bridge in New York. Deze periode van zelfreflectie versterkte zijn geluid en zijn vertrouwen als artiest. In de jaren zestig en zeventig experimenteerde Rollins met nieuwe stijlen en invloeden, waaronder free jazz en wereldmuziek. Zijn open houding tegenover verandering hield zijn muziek fris en relevant. Albums als The Bridge (1962) markeren zijn terugkeer na stilte en tonen een rijpere, diepgaandere muzikale stem. Naast zijn muzikale prestaties staat Rollins bekend om zijn integriteit en toewijding. Hij sprak zich uit voor burgerrechten en bleef trouw aan zijn eigen artistieke visie, ongeacht commerciële druk. Deze onafhankelijkheid maakt hem tot een voorbeeld van creatieve vrijheid. Zijn carrière, die meer dan zes decennia omspant, leverde hem talloze onderscheidingen op, waaronder een Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Toch bleef hij bescheiden en gericht op groei. Zelfs op latere leeftijd benadrukte hij dat hij zichzelf nog steeds als leerling zag. Sonny Rollins' nalatenschap is er een van moed, discipline en liefde voor muziek. Zijn levensverhaal laat zien dat ware grootheid ligt in voortdurende ontwikkeling en het durven volgen van je eigen pad. Met zijn warme, expressieve klank en positieve energie blijft hij een bron van inspiratie voor muziekliefhebbers wereldwijd.

What happens when the systems designed to support global stability quietly fade into the background—or worse, get ignored altogether? In this episode of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny sits down with Clifford Brown, a retired Senior U.S. Foreign Service Officer and author of Inside USAID: An Odyssey of Foreign Assistance, to unpack the role the U.S. Agency for International Development actually plays in the world—and why most Americans don't think about it until it's too late.From his early days working on tugboats and traveling through Latin America during moments of political upheaval, to leading U.S. development missions in West Africa, Clifford brings decades of firsthand experience to a conversation that feels more urgent than ever. Together, we explore how foreign aid connects directly to U.S. national interests, what happens when that support is reduced or politicized, and why development work is often misunderstood at home.This episode challenges the idea that foreign aid is optional—and instead reframes it as a critical tool for global stability, diplomacy, and long-term peace. Because when we “forget” about institutions like USAID, the consequences don't stay overseas—they come back home.

Vrijdag 13 maart presenteren Maarten Hogenhuis (sax), Phil Donkin (bas) en Mark Schilders (drums) hun nieuwe album COLE. in Jazzpodium de Tor. Een album waarin ze teruggrijpen op de muziek van een van de belangrijkste componisten/songschrijvers van de vorige eeuw: Cole Porter. Aanleiding voor Willem Habers om in deze TORcast een dik uur lang te duiken in de rijke muzikale erfenis van Cole Porter onder de titel “Cole’s Cool”. Playlist: Maarten Hogenhuis trio: Begin the Beguine; Frank Sinatra: Night and Day Dubbelaar: Ella Fitzgerald: I Get A Kick Out Of You; Patricia Barber: I Get A Kick Out Of You; Clifford Brown, Max Roach Quintet feat. Sonny Rollins: What is This Thing Called Love?; Sarah Vaughan: Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye; Chet Baker: You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To; Dubbelaar: Cannonball Adderly: Love For Sale; Eartha Kitt: Love For Sale; Mel Torme: It’s De-Lovely; Miles Davis Quintet: All Of You; Maarten Hogenhuis trio: It’s Allright With Me. Cole Porter Cole Porter (1891–1964) behoort tot de meest verfijnde en invloedrijke componisten uit het American Songbook. Zijn oeuvre—rijk aan melodische elegantie, harmonische verfijning en een ongeëvenaarde lyrische spitsvondigheid—heeft een blijvende stempel gedrukt op zowel de populaire muziek als de jazz. Waar veel tijdgenoten zich specialiseerden in óf tekst óf muziek, beheerste Porter beide disciplines op uitzonderlijk niveau. Zijn liederen zijn niet alleen cultureel iconisch, maar vormen ook een onuitputtelijke bron voor jazzmusici die op zoek zijn naar harmonische rijkdom en melodische flexibiliteit. Porters bijdrage aan de populaire muziek Een unieke combinatie van verfijning en toegankelijkheid Porters liederen waren tegelijk elegant en catchy. Hij schreef voor Broadway en Hollywood, maar zijn muziek overstijgt het theater: de songs zijn op zichzelf kleine kunstwerken. Zijn melodieën zijn vloeiend en herkenbaar, maar nooit simplistisch. Daardoor bleven ze decennialang populair bij zowel het grote publiek als professionele zangers.  Teksten die grenzen verlegden Porter was een meester van dubbelzinnigheid, ironie en subtiele erotiek. Hij speelde met taal op een manier die in de populaire muziek van zijn tijd ongekend was. Zijn teksten bevatten culturele verwijzingen, woordspelingen en ritmische verrassingen die de standaard voor songwriting blijvend verhoogden. Een kosmopolitische stijl Porters muziek ademt wereldsheid: Europese invloeden, Latijns-Amerikaanse ritmes, jazzharmonieën en Broadway-theatraliteit vloeien samen. Die mengvorm maakte hem tot een van de eerste echt internationale popcomponisten. Porters invloed op de jazz Harmonische rijkdom als speelveld voor improvisatie Jazzmusici omarmen Porters werk omdat zijn harmonieën uitdagend en inventief zijn. Songs als “Night and Day” of “What Is This Thing Called Love?” bevatten modulaties, chromatiek en akkoordprogressies die uitnodigen tot improvisatie. Veel van zijn composities zijn uitgegroeid tot jazzstandards. Flexibele melodieën Porters melodieën zijn sterk genoeg om herkenbaar te blijven, maar open genoeg om te variëren. Dat maakt ze ideaal voor jazzinterpretaties: van swing tot bebop, van cool jazz tot moderne vocale jazz. Een brug tussen Broadway en jazzclubs Porter hielp de kloof te overbruggen tussen de populaire muziek van het theater en de improvisatiecultuur van de jazz. Zijn liederen werden door zowel crooners als instrumentalisten omarmd, wat bijdroeg aan de canonisering van het Great American Songbook als fundament van de jazztraditie. Cole Porter was een componist die de grenzen van populaire muziek verlegde en tegelijkertijd een fundament legde voor de jazztraditie. Zijn liederen zijn melodisch sterk, harmonisch uitdagend en tekstueel briljant. Daardoor blijven ze aantrekkelijk voor zowel luisteraars als uitvoerders, en vormen ze een essentieel onderdeel van het muzikale erfgoed van de 20e eeuw. Zijn invloed is nog altijd hoorbaar in hedendaagse pop, musicaltheater en jazz—een bewijs van de tijdloze kracht van zijn werk.

Foreign aid is often reduced to slogans—either dismissed as wasteful or romanticised as simple charity—yet the reality is far more complex, political, and consequential. Drawing on a decades-long career that took him from private law practice into senior work across USAID and the broader development sector, Clifford offers an insider account of what international assistance looks like on the ground: the times it created whole industries and transformed communities, the moments it collided with corruption and backlash, and the ethical tensions of trying to support human rights while respecting sovereignty. The conversation also unpacks the scale and shock of USAID's dismantling in early 2025, what that means for implementers and local partners, and why the costs are not only bureaucratic but deeply human—measured in disrupted systems, lost capacity, and lives put at risk.About Our Guest: Clifford Brown left a successful career as a partner in a Beverly Hills commercial law firm to pursue what became a 27-year career in international foreign aid, serving first as a legal advisor and later as a senior manager. Through extensive work with USAID across contexts marked by civil unrest—including Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Kyrgyzstan, and Guinea—he brings rare first-hand insight into the ethical, legal, and bureaucratic complexities of aid practice, from governance dilemmas to agricultural transition and program design. His reflections frame foreign aid as an expression of collective moral responsibility, warning that the sudden dismantling of USAID will have long-lasting global consequences.

What is the impact of the USAID shutdown as thee United States abruptly walked away from global humanitarian aid?In this episode of the Lean to the Left Podcast, host Bob Gatty speaks with former senior USAID official Clifford Brown about the far-reaching consequences of the Trump administration's decision to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).Brown, who left a lucrative legal career to serve in public service, shares firsthand accounts from his work in Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras, West Africa, and post-Soviet states. He explains how USAID programs provided food security, healthcare, and economic opportunity—and how their abrupt termination has contributed to increased suffering, instability, and migration pressures.The conversation explores:• Why the shutdown of USAID was celebrated by some Trump administration officials who enjoyed a big sheet cake—and devastating for millions who because of their actions would have very little to eat• The real-world consequences of ending global health and development programs• The moral and political challenges of democracy-building abroad• Corruption, cultural conflict, and the limits of foreign intervention• Why restoring USAID matters for America's global credibilityBrown also discusses his book, Inside USAID: An Odyssey of Foreign Assistance, a deeply personal account of the triumphs and failures of U.S. foreign aid.

Before his life was tragically ended by an automobile accident at the age of 25, trumpeter Clifford Brown (born October 30, 1930) set the jazz world ablaze with his seemingly effortless mastery of his instrument and incendiary playing. His trailblazing quintet with drummer Max Roach and saxophonists Sonny Rollins, and later, Harold Land, set the standard for the post bop era, and many of the compositions he penned for this band remain jazz standards.

La comédienne Liliane Rovère a eu une vie bien remplie. Elle est née en 1933 à Paris dans une famille juive marquée par la guerre, a découvert le jazz avec passion, a passé deux ans aux États-Unis avec le trompettiste Chet Baker, est entrée dans le monde du spectacle dans une pièce de Robert Dhéry… La vie de Liliane Rovère pourrait être un roman, mais c'est bien sa vie, dont elle raconte ici les débuts, dans une famille aimante mais où l'on ne parlait pas, où l'on n'avait pas de conversations, pas d'échanges… On s'aimait sans rien dire. (Des bruits parasites se sont invités dans la conversation sans demander la permission. Sorry !)

The Legend of Clifford Hicks, signé Tommaso Valsecchi au scénario et Riccardo Rosanna au dessin, publié chez Glénat dans la collection Treize Étrange, est un album qui nous plonge dans l'univers du jazz américain, à la croisée de la musique, de la mémoire et de la légende.L'histoire s'ouvre sur une atmosphère typique des clubs enfumés des années 1940 et 1950. Clifford Hicks, trompettiste talentueux, y apparaît comme une figure à la fois familière et mystérieuse. Ce n'est pas un personnage historique réel, mais il est construit comme une somme de plusieurs musiciens emblématiques : on y devine des échos de Miles Davis, de Dizzy Gillespie, de Clifford Brown, ou même de Chet Baker. Ce mélange crée un héros de fiction crédible, une incarnation de tous ces artistes qui ont marqué le jazz, parfois dans l'ombre, parfois trop tôt disparus.

Today we wrap up Jazz Appreciation Month with GlenDronach 12-year scotch and Yamazaki 12-year Japanese whisky, as we share a legend who was gone far too soon- Clifford Brown. Few may know his name, but Brown was perhaps the greatest jazz trumpet player of all time when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 25. Join us as we learn about his life, his lasting legacy, and the music we're lucky enough to enjoy. 

Tonight's Jazz Feature had one of the most widely recorded trumpeters from the 50's and 60's who eventually went into other fields after being a big part of Jazz for so many years. Donald Byrd was one of the many young trumpeters who reflected in their own way the influence of the late Clifford Brown, who died at age 25 in a car crash. Byrd along with Lee Morgan were the young heralds of the trumpet in the 50's and in the 60's Freddie Hubbard was added to that list. Byrd recorded a lot and this is from his period just before he left Jazz for other musical pursuits. This band was one he worked with frequently during the mid-60's. The Jazz Feature album is called "Blackjack" . It spotlights a sextet with Byrd leading alto saxophonist Sonny Red (aka Sylvester Kyner), tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Cedar Walton, Walter Booker on bass and the always smiling Billy Higgins on drums. The tunes are mostly original creations by Sonny Red and Donald Byrd. Byrd wrote the title track "Blackjack", a hip funky tune. Enjoy this fine date from Blue Note Records.

Art Farmer es una “rara avis” en el panorama musical del hard bop de los 50 y 60 del pasado siglo cuando a los trompetistas se les imponía unas capacidades atléticas exorbitantes con sonoridades brillantes y fraseos vertiginosos. En ese panorama desafiante y hostil se abre paso Farmer que, sustituyendo la trompeta por el fliscornio, encuentra su lugar con una sonoridad suave y aterciopelada y con un discurso improvisativo sereno y expresivo, alejado de los excesos y los alardes del be bop. La banda The Jazztet que Farmer co-lidera a finales de la década de los cincuenta, es considerada uno de los conjuntos seminales del hard bop, a pesar de que su música se alejaba de los exigentes estándares impuestos por otros conjuntos como los Jazz Messengers de Art Blakey o el quinteto de Max Roach y Clifford Brown. A pesar de todo, a finales de la década de los sesenta, Farmer se unió a esa legión de jazzmen expatriados que buscaron refugio en Europa, encontrando su hogar en Viena, donde su ya extenso y destacado curriculum, le sirvió de carta de presentación en los escenarios y estudios de grabación del continente y del mundo entero. A partir de la década de los ochenta, con el redescubrimiento del jazz acústico en los Estados Unidos, Farmer disfrutó de un exitoso homecoming, siendo reconocido como una de las grandes leyendas de la historia del jazz moderno, compartiendo, a partir de entonces, su vida y su actividad laboral entre Austria y Estados Unidos. Radio Jazznoend rinde homenaje en nuestro nuevo programa a este maestro de la trompeta, recorriendo sus registros de madurez, efectuados a partir de los años ‘70 para discográficas norteamericanas, europeas y japonesas. Te invitamos a compartir con nosotros una velada mágica iluminada por los destellos del estilo lírico y emocional de Art Farmer y por la conmovedora belleza de su sonido que hicieron de él uno de los más destacados contadores de historias del jazz moderno.

Los comentarios posteriores al decomiso de 9.8 toneladas de cocaína en el puerto de Caucedo cuestionaron más a la autoridad que hizo el decomiso que a los posibles responsables del monumental alijo. Los opinadores clásicos y nuevos de RD evidencian un cambio en su actitud. En el 2005 cuando fue detenido el camión en el que viajaba el coronel Nin Terrero y que llevaba los 1380 kilos de cocaína de Quirino Castillo para algún punto de la región norte, pocos preguntaron porqué la autoridad no permitió que la carga llegara. De hecho el cargamento de Quirino ha provocado una leyenda negra en torno a distintos empresarios de Santiago a pesar que detenido en Villa Altagracia, la droga de Quirino podía ir a cualquier lugar del Nordeste, el Cibao Central o la Línea. A partir de ahí las conversaciones sobre ese caso, hasta ahora, atribuyen la propiedad de esa droga al rico que le caiga mal y el catálogo es amplio. En las próximas horas cuando se conozca la solicitud de medida de coerción de una decena de personas arrestadas por el ministerio público en relación a las casi diez toneladas de cocaina decomisadas en diciembre  aparecerá una gran parte de las respuestas y de seguro habrá sorpresas. Hay dos empresas que fueron allanadas y una ya había sido investigada por vínculos con el narco. El rastreo que ham  hecho las autoridades detalla el movimiento de los contenedores desde que llegaron al país, así como la red de complicidades que permitieron un movimiento de esa magnitud. Si sirve de algo hay que decir que después del famoso decomiso en el país estuvo el director de operaciones de la DEA el señor Luis D Ambrosio, que no vino solo porque también vino  Michael Miranda, Director DEA en el Caribe, Clifford Brown, Sub-Director, Melitón Cordero, Supervisor DEA, República Dominicana, Justin Meadows, Sub-Director de Operaciones Especiales DEA y Ronald Haynes, Coordinador de Operaciones Especiales DEA Washington, DC. A lo mejor fue una visita de cortesía pero a lo mejor no. La semana pasada el director del servicio de alguaciles de los EStados Unidos sacó tiempo de su agenda para visitar el país y felicitar la gestión del director de la DNCD. A lo mejor también vino por una foto. El director de operaciones de la DEA es el número dos, y el señor Ronald DAvis es el número uno de los Marshals y se montan en un avión para tomarse fotos. Eso si usted lo quiere creer. Es probable que en unas horas, cuando tengamos a mano la solicitud de medida de coerción aparezcan las respuestas a las preguntas que pocos hicieron porque igual que con el camión de Quirino hay gente que le teme a la verdad y prefiere especular a conveniencia.

Tonoght's Jazz Show celebrates the Birthday Anniversary of a trumpet player who gave a whole generation of younger players the basis for their style and approach to the trumpet/ Even though Clifford Brown died in a car crash at age 25 on June 26, 1956, his trumpet work is still the standard for most young players to strive to attain. Tonight's Jazz Feature spotlights the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet at it's best that was done in the optimum conditions of the recording studio during the time the Quintet was performing at New York's leading Jazz club, Basin Street in February 1956. The Quintet had jelled to perfection and their newest member, the great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins and Brown made a coherent and perfectly blended front line. The rest of the bad consisted of Richard Powell on piano, George Morrow on bass and Rollins, Brown and drum great Max Roach. This recording marks the last studio performance of the Roach/Brown Quintet at their best with great arrangements by their pianist Richard Powell. This band was one of the very finest in their day and their music still remains fresh and exciting. Happy Birthday Anniversary to Clifford Benjamin Brown (Oct 30, 1930/ June 26,1956).

Peter Straub was the best selling author of novels, short stories, novellas and essays. He passed away earlier this month at the age of 79. Peter started out with dreams of writing poetry and literary fiction. After publishing his first two novels, and two books of poetry, he finally asked himself the question that so many artists find themselves asking: how do I make a living at this? An agent suggested he try writing a “gothic novel”, advice that reoriented him for much of the rest of his career. His natural ability to write novels that, as he said, would be appealing to people who love Philip Roth and those who love Stephen King, connected with a huge audience that picked up what he was putting down over the course of many years.  But before he became a writer in earnest he was a jazz lover. He discovered jazz as a boy growing up in Milwaukee in the late 1950s. He gravitated toward Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond, Clifford Brown, Bill Evans and Miles.  While the hip, swinging sounds of his favorite soloists followed him from stage to stage and page to page, there was something else that stayed with him as well: the darker moments of his childhood. A car accident that shaped his first years in school and left him alone and isolated in a body cast and a wheelchair, just as he was learning to read. He recovered, but it turned out to be a kind of catalyst for his career as a writer. And there was an even darker secret that he somehow managed to hide from even himself well into adulthood. In our conversation, originally recorded in 2017, we explored all of this. The through line of jazz and fiction, improvisation and writing, how the past stays with us into the present, and how watching his Norwegian farmer relatives taught him to write diligently. www.third-story.com www.wbgo.org/studios www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast
