Tom Browne

Tom Browne was a familiar figure on the R&B charts during the 1979-1989 period when he was recording pop-oriented material for GRP and Arista. Browne studied piano for a year when he was 11 and then switched to trumpet, attending New York City's High School of Music and Art. Originally interested in classical music, Browne discovered jazz while in college in the mid-'70s. He worked with Sonny Fortune, recorded with Lonnie Smith, and then signed with GRP. Although influenced by Freddie Hubbard and occasionally recording a hard bop number, most of Browne's output during that era was clearly geared toward the marketplace. A commercial pilot, Browne largely dropped out of music by the late '80s, but came back in 1994 with a recording for Hip Bop in several settings that included the credible jazz date Another Shade of Browne, which made one wonder "What took so long?" ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

Timeless classic we can all groove to! Big ups! One of best 45s i have ever heard:)
The Magic album was a totally underrated rare groove/quite storm classic.Good to see Pandora found it.Feel free to put MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE from this album in the rotation.Als o the album : BROWN SUGAR is worth adding.

Tom Browne also did a Gospel Album on Malaaco label called "No Longer I" that was awesome. Wish he'd do more.

Tom Browne broke the seal on Jazz infused R&B with this cut. It's a funk classic that will stand the test of time. His other notible hit - Thighs High was pretty good too, but Funking for Jamacia (Queens, NY)is the Sh_ t!!!!
PANDORA: Feel free to put MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE in the rotation from this album.
Also add: PROMISES FOR SPRING...THR O W DOWN...and HERBAL SCENT from
the Browne Sugar album.
Love Tom Browne but I only recognize him from "Jamaican FunK". I'll listen to other stuff by him now.
