about

We are proud and honored to present this previously unreleased concert album by Mr. Brown with his daughter Maggie Brown. One of the great singers and songwriters of our time and, like ESP-Disk', a rebel, Mr. Brown found fame through major-label releases in the '60s, but then his political stances got him blacklisted, resulting in only two albums in the last three decades of his life. Now, with the release of this concert performance, you can make that three albums, and hear songs not available anywhere else, swinging songs of an elder contemplating his mortality with wisdom and wit and a keen sense of the history of jazz and blues.
