The band, which reprises the hard-bop style of the legendary Blue Note era, was recognized by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) as the Best Jazz Group for 2009. The group’s celebrated release, “Hard Bop Café” was recognized by WAMA as the Best Jazz Recording for 2006 with a Wammie award.
We will feature the music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton, and Thelonious Monk. The LARRY BROWN Quintet features Larry Brown (piano), Kent Miller (bass), Claudio Berardi (drums), Peter Fraize (tenor) and Thad Wilson (trumpet).
