The one and only, Delmar
Brown
As a young
man, Delmar Brown was a shining star in Bloomington, Illinois where
he was active in church as a pianist, singer and organist. Delmar
admired the great jazz rnusicians of his youth, citing Jimmy Smith,
Herbie Hancock, and Oscar Peterson aniong his earliest influences.
Gospel greats like Mahalia Jackson, James Cleveland and C.L. Franklin
were a large part of his earliest vocal influences. After studying
at Berklee College of Music, the training ground of some of the finest
jazz musicians today, Delmar went on to play and compose for some
of the most influential musicians in the global industry including
Gil Evans, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Jaco Pastroius and many others.
Delmar's travel experiences and love of the music of the world brought
him in contact with innovative pop musicians who included elements
of world music in their own music. Throughout the years Delmar has
collaborated with such notable figures as Sting, Youssou N'Dour, and
Peter Gabriel. Today Delmar
Brown combines the smooth sound of jazz, the earthiness of world music
and the high energy of pop music to drive 'The Delmar Brown World
Pop Experience', mixing musical elements from the Caribbean to Eastern
Europe. The music itself is truly unique, and has the potential to
reach deeply into one's soul with its throbbing rhythm and 'grounded'
sound to touch and uplift you. When you listen to 'The Delmar Brown
World Pop Experience', your being will be so full of good feelings
and energy that you'll want to experience it over and over again!
The latest CD from Delmar Brown is much like the future of music that trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie predicted in his autobiography. In Dizzy's book 'To Be, or Not to Bop', the jazz icon describes the future of music to be 'like a quilt with all of the worlds music represented on the different patches. The World Pop Experience is akin to this quilt that Dizzy anticipated many years ago. A quilt with patches of Brazilian rhythm, the pulse of reggae, vocal influences of gospel, exotic sounds of Middle Eastern music, and the vibrant drumming of Africa combined with American pop. The result is a compositional soundscape that is contemporary, rich and fresh. Delmars
