“Brown is one of the most exciting young trumpeters in jazz…His improvisations are fresh, his chops dynamic” raves DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE. “Brown and his quintet have found the place where jazz, soul and pop converge, shortchanging none of these languages but drawing eloquently from each of them,” states the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. “When Maurice Brown blows his trumpet, folks notice. His irrefutable energy, talent and focus continually surprise audiences…” says JAZZ TIMES.
GRAMMY® Winning Trumpet Sensation & Composer MAURICE BROWN is a mastermind when he picks up his horn, his soulful melodies soar into a rarefied space, producing his own distinctive sound. Maurice won a GRAMMY® for his horn arrangements on the Tedeschi Trucks Band debut album, 'Revelator'. His trumpet was a wailing counterpoint to DEREK TRUCK's searing guitar wizardry. Brown also joined 8x-GRAMMY® Winning Superstar ANDERSON .PAAK on multiple worldwide tours; performed on numerous albums for Saxophonist KENNY GARRETT; and partnered with jazz megastar KAMASI WASHINGTON for a run of sold-out shows. He has recorded with Aretha Franklin, Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, Macy Gray, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Lettuce & The Roots. "Brown is one of the most talented of his generation..." raves TERENCE BLANCHARD. Quintet includes GRAMMY® Award-Winning Drummer THOMAS PRIDGEN; GRAMMY® Nominated Saxophonist LOGAN RICHARDSON; Acclaimed Keyboardist TAKAHIRO IZUMIKAWA; and Prolific Bassist PARKER MCALLISTER!
