Pianist Keith Brown played Barking Legs last year as a member of Vance Thompson’s 5 plus 6, and he blew folks away with his extraordinary command of the keyboard. Barking Legs has been angling to get him back as a leader, and it’s a pleasure to see it happen.
“Keith Brown is a phenomenal player! He has a great grasp on the language of the jazz piano masters and an ability to come from many directions; from hard swing to funk to free. Keith has developed his own original voice. He is also an in depth ballad player, and a player who can easily navigate the complicated rhythmic & harmonic vocabularies of modern jazz. In other words, Keith is a player that has it all. His CD, Sweet & Lovely, is an auspicious debut that proves that he is a player to watch”.

“I am proud of what Keith has accomplished and I admire his involvement in music. I am sure that he is one that will make a tremendous contribution to the continuum of jazz and particularly jazz piano”.
