I am happy to announce that
Anita Brown Jazz Orchestra, and

While there is an event listing posted on Anita Brown Jazz Orchestra's Facebook fan page, it seem far easier to announce in this manner, which feeds into Facebook, given my personal challenges with technology. (ugh) :-)

Summer time is sometimes a challenging time to secure regular personnel due to so many summer jazz camps festivals and family activities making demands upon these wonderful players. I am excited to fill the last few chairs for this gig, but happy to announce the following in the way of personnel...and in particular...the RETURN of the brilliant GREG GISBERT to my trumpet section!!
I'm very happy to announce that my father, Ted Brown, a recorded jazz artist and an original member of The Lennie Tristano School, will, for the first time, sit in on my arrangements of his own compositions!
