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.

Newcomer to the live music scene 23Hoyt is now positioning itself to be one of the future stakeholders for keeping the flame of live Jazz burning hot in Portland. So if you’re not familiar yet with the musical prowess and accomplishments of pianist Greg Goebel, then I can’t imagine many other places in town to become acquainted with his abilities as a musician than at 23Hoyt.
