Norman Brown Birthday Bash in Cincinnati

Norman Brown is a Grammy-winning smooth jazz guitarist and singer born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, who has spent more than four decades touring behind a sound rooted in Wes Montgomery-influenced jazz guitar and soul. Signed to Motown's MoJazz imprint in the early 1990s, Brown broke through with his 1992 debut "Just Between Us" and later scored a number-one smooth jazz radio hit with "Let's Take a Ride" in 2007. Known for warm, melodic playing that draws as much from R&B as jazz tradition, Brown remains a fixture on the contemporary jazz touring circuit. Landing in Cincinnati just two days after his own birthday, this show frames the date as a celebratory concert, giving smooth jazz audiences a chance to hear a veteran guitarist's catalog performed live in an intimate club setting.
