Biography
American jazz trumpet player. Born October 30, 1930, Wilmington, Delaware, USA Died June 26, 1956, Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA Nicknamed 'Brownie', he was encouraged by both [a64694] and [a309986], the latter was Brown's main influence. He performed with R&B bandleader [a1133913], [a251783], [a136133], and [a29977] before forming his own quintet (co-led with [a229498]). In June 1956, Brown and pianist [a259083] were being driven from Philadelphia to Chicago by Powell's wife Nancy for the band's next appearance. While driving on a rainy night on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, west of Bedford, she lost control of the car and it left the road. All three were killed in the resulting crash. Brown is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery, in Wilmington, Delaware. He won the "Down Beat" critics' poll for the ‘New Star of the Year’ in 1954; he was inducted into the "Down Beat" 'Jazz Hall of Fame’ in 1972 in the critics' poll.
