Title of MP3 Clip | Length | Size | Composer | Commentary |

..Knight
Music
........Trumpet solo |

(solo) | Brown's Trumpet solo from Knight Music. His use of the envelope filter brings to mind his NYC teacher - Randy Brecker. |

Meg |
by Courney Pine | Brown's Cuban cha-cha-cha arrangement of this Courtney Pine funk tune. |
..Oneness
Of Mind

..Current Con Clave | 1:40 | 1.6

..Current
Con Clave
........Interludes & ........Trumpet solo |
|
Meg |
(solo) | First you'll hear Interlude 4, with all the Cuban howling intact... then Brown's trumpet solo... and lastly the dread Interlude 5, a blistering hardbop interlude to get the group out of the solos and back into the melody... remember - LIVE recording. |
..Two Clear Nights | 1:17 | 1.2
Meg |
by Nick Ali | A taste of Brazil. This uptempo Brazilian Samba was written by Brown over a set of standard chord changes. A free CD for those (non-musicians!) who can guess the standard. |
..Two
Clear Nights
........Trumpet solo |
|
Meg |
(solo) | Trumpet solo from Two Clear Nights. Bryden (engineer) capturing Brown's warm tone nicely here. |

Meg |
by Nick Ali | Another Cuban 3-2 rhumba clave by Brown. This version was originally recorded by Grüvoria, whom he, Marcus and Luicito are all members of. This tune features Luisito on vocals, embodying the struggle in the cave. |
..Core
Cave
........Trumpet solo |
|
Meg |
(solo) | Trumpet solo from Core Cave. Check out the guys all singing at the end of the solo! |
