Time Speaks

Time Speaks, subtitled Dedicated to the Memory of Clifford Brown, is an album by saxophonist/composer Benny Golson that was recorded in 1982 and released on the Japanese Baystate label the following year.^[1][2] The album features trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw performing tunes associated with, or inspired by, Clifford Brown and was reissued on the Dutch Timeless label in 1984.^[3][4]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "This set was chiefly notable for teaming together for the first time trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw. Ostensibly a tribute to Clifford Brown, the sextet date only has two songs actually played by Brown. No matter; it is for the Hubbard-Shaw matchup that this straight-ahead outing is mostly recommended, as the two trumpeters provide most of the fireworks".^[5]
