Alex Brown Trio at @exuberance

Versatility.

Virtuoso pianist Alex Brown will probably not play the violin here @exuberance. But the last time I saw Alex he was doing just that, music-directing for Paquito D’Rivera with the Cimarron String Quintet. As one of the charts required a 3rd violin, Alex not only played the part but took a killing solo. That he’s served as the Maestro’s pianist for ten years testifies to his level of musicianship.

He studied with Danilo Perez at the New England Conservatory of Music and now pursues a masters degree in scoring at the Frost School of Music in Miami. We can’t forget Alex for his @exuberance stand last year with the incredible steel-drum performances of Victor Provost. Alex arrives this time with his trio—brother Zach Brown on bass and Eric Doob on drums. Expect a program of glistening originals.
