Grammy Winning Jazz Trumpeter Maurice Brown Announce Three Night Residency

Grammy award winning trumpeter Maurice "Mobetta" Brown and his stellar NYC Band are gonna hold a three-night residency at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago Thursday Oct 16th - Saturday Oct 18th.

Maurice Brown is a classically-trained Jazzman mentored and supported by the iconic Wynton Marsalis and the legendary Ramsey Lewis. But "Mobetta" is also a Hip-Hop head for life, and that journey on this planet rock literally parallels the history and evolution of rap. Little wonder that Maurice not only blows the roof off God's sky with his horn, but he also spits lyrics the way Satchmo spit his own brand of vocalese back in the day. Yup, Mobetta is a horn-playing-rhyme-spraying-dancing machine that Jazz-Hip-Hop collaborators like Donald Byrd and Gang Starr's Guru, or Ron Carter and A Tribe Called Quest fantasized about in the early 1990s. No need to cram to make that Jazz/Hip-Hop experiment happen in these times because Maurice Brown is the living and breathing embodiment of it all, a one-stop shop destined to be this era's Quincy Jones. And then some!

Fresh off tour with the Grammy award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band (Maurice is the horn arranger for the 11-piece ensemble), Maurice Brown's latest release, 'Maurice vs Mobetta', does a great job of showcasing Maurice's Jazz side versus his Hip-Hop persona. And Maurice "Mobetta" Brown is just getting warmed up...
