Brother Matthew • Brother Matthew With Eddie Condon's Jazz Band

Boyce Brown was an eccentric, a rare alto saxophonist who preferred to play freewheeling Chicago jazz, an erratic individual with some outlandish opinions and, ultimately, one of the very few monks who doubled (at least briefly) as a jazz musician! He became a professional musician when he was 17, playing with drummer Don Carter's band in Chicago. Brown picked up experience working with Benny Meroff, Wingy Manone (1933), Paul Mares (1934-1935), and Johnny's Original Playboys. Brown also led his own bands and recorded with Mares, Jimmy McPartland (1939), and Wild Bill Davison (some obscure titles in 1940). Brown was based in Chicago throughout his playing career, mostly leading his own bands th

roughout the '40s and early '50s.

In the fall of 1953 he adopted the name "Brother Matthew" and entered a monastery, taking his vows in February 1956. His only date as a leader was cut in Apr. 1956 with Eddie Condon's band and, although he looks a bit strange in his somber outfit while holding a sax (one can only imagine what Wild Bill Davison thought!), Boyce Brown was in brilliant form for what would be his last recording. He died of a heart attack less than three years later.

Traducción Automática:

Boyce Brown era un excéntrico y raro saxofonista alto que prefería interpretar el jazz de Chicago libre, un individuo errático con algunas opiniones extrañas y, en última instancia, uno de los pocos monjes que se duplicó (al menos brevemente) como músico de jazz! Él se hizo un músico profesional cuando tenía 17, tocando con el batería Don Carter en Chicago. Brown adquirió experiencia trabajando con Benny Meroff, Wingy Manone (1933), Paul Mares (1934-1935) y Johnny's Original Playboys. Brown también dirigió sus propias bandas y grabó con Mares, Jimmy McPartland (1939), y Wild Bill Davison (algunos títulos oscuros en 1940). Brown se basó en Chicago a lo largo de su carrera como jugador, liderando principalmente sus propias bandas a lo largo de los años 40 y principios de los 50.En el otoño de 1953 adoptó el nombre de "Hermano Mateo" y entró en un monasterio, tomando sus votos en febrero de 1956. Su única fecha como líder fue cortada en abril de 1956 con la banda de Eddie Condon y, aunque se ve un poco extraño en Su sombrío traje mientras sostenía un saxo (¡sólo se puede imaginar lo que pensaba Wild Bill Davison!), Boyce Brown estaba en forma brillante por lo que sería su última grabación. Murió de un ataque al corazón menos de tres años después.~ Scott Yanow
