Pianist Larry Brown leads one of the most accomplished straight-ahead jazz groups in the Mid-Atlantic area.

"Straight-ahead jazz at its best, with a forthright approach to well chosen material, supported by first rate soloists and a rock-solid rhythm section." - JazzReview.com

“Larry Brown is a pianist whose rendering of ballads is particularly moving" - Washingtonian Magazine

 ​“An artist deserving of greater exposure” and “evokes the master touch." - The Washington Post

The group’s four CDs receive airplay all over the country, as well as in Brazil, Canada, Russia, and Japan. The band, which reprises the hard-bop style of the legendary Blue Note era, was recognized by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) as the Best Jazz Group for 2009.
