Auckland keyboard maestro Alan Brown will likely be a familiar name to any involved in the New Zealand jazz and funk scenes over the last 15 or so years. His work with the now defunct Blue Train jazz group saw him performing at numerous festivals around the country, the band top earning various honours including 1996 NZ Jazz Album of The Year - an achievement which Alan rates among the high points of his career.
When not busy teaching contemporary music performance at MAINZ in Auckland or performing with Chris Melville's Grand Central Band, Alan is presently directing the bulk of his attention towards the Alan Brown Trio and promotion of their new album 'About This Time'. The Hammond organ-based jazz/funk unit also features the talents of Dixon Nacey on guitar and drummer Josh Sorenson. Check out the MP3's now available on the MP3 page.
