Brownie: Homage to Clifford Brown is an album by Helen Merrill, recorded in tribute to the trumpeter Clifford Brown.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Throughout the often emotional date, Helen Merrill is heard in top form, giving plenty of feeling to the lyrics while leaving room for the guest trumpeters". The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as a "classic session [... that] acted as a superb vehicle for Merrill's individual approach to time".
