Best jazz album of the year

"I really love hip to bop with its complex melodies and advanced rhythms, maurice brown is truly ahead of his time. There are deep roots of The Great Miles Davis and the complex soul of John Coltrane all mixed into one. If you are a listener of great jazz and even if you are not a listener of jazz I think this album will sure wet your whistle. This album should get some grammy nominations. So if you love great cats like this one, go out and buy his album it will be well worth the money and your music listening pleasure. Hip to Bop gets 50 stars from me. Waiting for the next album."

"Maurice Brown's debut cd shines with amazing talent that one would expect out of a more "seasoned" jazz performer. I was fortunate to have friends that mentioned how great a musician this man and his accompaning artists were so we ventured out to see them last night and he blew us away with his talent & skills.
I could hear influences of Miles Davis and other greats, but mostly original tunes that kept my attention the entire nite.
This CD is great. I recommend it ... thumbs up!"
