With multi Gold selling albums and having been described by George Benson as Joy filled in expressiveness and believable in any musical style its easy to see why Tom Browne is one of the most renowned Jazz trumpeters of our generation.
Starting on the piano, and later inspired by his collection of Jazz Records, Tom Browne switched to the trumpet at the age of 11 and studied under Murray Karpilovsky who was the principal trumpeter with the NBC Orchestra.
Before the release of his first album, Tom Browne had already played alongside such greats as Weldon Irvine, Sonny Fortune and Lonnie Liston Smith.
MAGIC was Tom’s third album release and reached #5 on the R&B chart and #37 on the Pop chart. It was produced by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen and also features the vocal talents of Toni Smith who features on Tom’s #1 R&B hit ‘Funkin’ For Jamaica’ (which is also available on BBR).
The irresistibly funky THIGHS HIGH (GRIP YOUR HIPS AND MOVE) was a big hit, spending 18 weeks in the R&B chart and peaking at #4. It reached #45 in the UK charts after significant disco play. It has also been sampled by the likes of Coolio on his R&B #24 single 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New).
