Trumpet sensation Maurice MOBETTA Brown orbits simultaneously through three worlds: contemporary jazz, blues-rock and cutting-edge hip hop. He?s a mastermind as a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and producer. When Maurice picks up his horn, his soulful melodies soar into a rarefied space that uniquely marries be-bop to hip-hop and rock, producing his own distinctive sound. The Chicago area native won the national Miles Davis Trumpet Competition as a teenager, followed by a move to Louisiana to study under legendary clarinetist Alvin Batiste. His critically acclaimed debut, ?HIP TO BOP?, recorded in New Orleans, foreshadowed Brown?s unique talent for creating fresh bop-inflected jazz with an urban pulse. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina?s devastation forced Maurice to relocate, taking his horn to New York where he established himself by recording with Aretha Franklin, Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, Macy Gray, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Lettuce and The Roots.
