Clarence Clemons ( 11 January 1942 – 18 June 2011)
 |
In remembrance of Clarence “Big Man” Clemons, the prominent member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Branford Marsalis wrote about the impact the band had had on him. Marsalis admitted to once, as a young man back then, having a tendency to focus on facility and “hipness”, as opposed to the power of musical intent. Hearing Clemons and the band play with the effect of themselves being above the songs or not even aware of the song’s existence was a nurturing experience indeed. |
