Coast-hopping, Jazz-drumming, Chris Brown is back in town!
Brown has gained a stellar reputation as one of the bright new talents on the scene, working with a who's who of Jazz artist.
This quartet is so amazing on so many different levels...go see 'em whilst they still exist in PDX. I really think this one could go a long way in the Jazz world!
-Bob Stark. Portland, OR.
Producer/Sound Engineer Kung Fu Bakery Studio.
He is a uniquely talented performer and educator, and a man in whom I trust and for whom I hold great admiration.
-Conrad Herwig. New York, NY.
Director of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University, NJ, and 3x Grammy Nominated artist.
I used him almost exclusively in my band when he used to reside in the NYC area, as he always brought so much knowledge and artistry to the music. And combined with his multi-instrumentalist abilities, Chris Brown is a unique talent that's not often found.

Relative newcomer to the scene of establishments that are presenting live Jazz these days here in the greater Portland area, is The Underground (located at the bottom of the Monarch Hotel). With their 1920’s themed brand, coupled with mouth watering cocktails and food, in addition to the music, this place checks all of the boxes for a true dining “experience.”
