  Welcome!
"If
music is a language, then Berkeley percussionist and composer
Anthony Brown is probably one of the most articulate men in jazz."

The San Francisco Chronicle
"...and
Mr. Brown, swinging away on drums, made the piece levitate."

The New York Times
Percussionist,
composer, educator and ethnomusicologist Dr. Anthony Brown continues to play a seminal role in contemporary
California creative music from his pioneering work with the Asian American jazz movement in the early 1980s to his
current leadership of Anthony Brown's Orchestra.
New CD
from Anthony Brown's Orchestra
The
latest release from Anthony Brown's Orchestra, entitled Rhapsodies, completes a trilogy of personal homages to American composers Duke Ellington,
Thelonious Monk, and George Gershwin, all of which feature Brown's unique compositional and performance
voice reflective of his own intercultural heritage and experiences.
Brown's
earlier recordings in the trilogy, Far East Suite and
Monk’s Moods, received widespread critical acclaim,
including a Grammy nomination and a five star rating from Downbeat.
