Baron Browne
Baron Browne was a joy to hear and a pleasure to play with, as dozens of the most accomplished players in electric jazz will gladly attest. Closely associated with drummer Steve Smith and violinist Jean Luc Ponty, Browne was also sought after as a sideman for both his flawless technique and his warm sense of humor. After a year at Berklee School of Music, where his classmates included Bill Frisell and Kevin Eubanks, Browne would become the bassist of choice for bandleaders like Ponty and fusion pioneer Billy Cobham, as well as vibraphonist Gary Burton among many others. Baron Browne. When it comes to blending in, he stood out.
