Brown Bros. Year in Review 2018
The year. In review.
San Francisco Nites (and Days)
the hippies were here first, or most prominently @ least. They say the spirit now is angst, as extreme wealth and similarly extreme poverty sit uneasily on the same bench. Who’s to say what may come next, but the city is pulsing – big swaths of empty spaces rising up periodically. Good coffee. Always goodContinue reading “San Francisco Nites (and Days)”
Got live if you want it
Live albums are always a dicey proposition. The allure of a concert is that the experience can’t be reproduced. Otherwise why be inconvenienced by travel and interaction with a host of unpleasantness?

New York Times, New York History
Jazz-Ageddon started out as a hazy idea in Steve Mandel’s apartment in Summer, 2017. It evolved into one of the most bitterly disputed executions in label history. But over 3 nights in January 2018 it took on a life of its own. Thanks to the glue of modern day BBR, the world class vibraphonist WarrenContinue reading “New York Times, New York History”
