Biography

Norman Brown is the US born smooth jazz guitarist whose success has seen him dubbed 'the second coming of George Benson'.

Brown's young life was spent in Kansas, where early exposure to Hendrix convinced him he wanted to be an axeman. He was turned on to jazz by his father and after graduation he moved to the West Coast to study at Musicians Institute in LA. Gigging on the LA jazz scene eventually… Read more in Amazon's Norman Brown Store

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this CD wondering if I would like it, I LOVED IT!!!, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Days Ahead (Audio CD)
This was the first Jazz CD that I purchased. I was fortunate enough to have seen Norman on BET on Jazz some years ago. I was immediately taken. Because he is intertwined with George Benson, I knew he would instantly become one of my favorites. Anyone who is a lover of R&B and Jazz will adore this album. Norman has established himself as not just a Jazz artist, but as an artist that can intergrate a plethera of different styles of music and incorporate it into comtemporary Jazz that can be loved and appreciated by all. Go'head wit yo' bad self!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars In one word.....inspiring!, October 15, 2001
By 
"harpert" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Better Days Ahead (Audio CD)
When I first listened to this album, I was very stressed out about my college classes. I listened to Better Days Ahead, and I just totally relaxed. This song truly inspired me to take the good with the bad and know that the road won't always be so tough. When the pressures of life get you down, you have to think of Better Days Ahead! After the Love is a great track as well, Mr. Brown really knew how to make it sound a bit more romantic and exotic. When you listen to this track, you don't think of the love being gone; you only think of when the love will reach you! Overall all the songs were great, but those are my two FAVORITE tracks. Does anyone know if Norman Brown is coming to Dallas anytime soon, if so let me know!! BUY THIS ALBUM! Support Norman!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the smoothest guitar in Jazz, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Days Ahead (Audio CD)
If you enjoy Lee Rit, Peter White, George Benson and Larry Carlton, you'll enjoy Norman Brown. A smooth jazz guitarist with R&B. Most tracks are upbeat and relaxing to listen to.
