Vernell Brown, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vernell Brown, Jr. is a jazz and Rhythm & Blues pianist.
He started on piano at four, but from six to thirteen he switched to drums. He returned to piano later in his teens which led to his being discovered by Jerry Moss. In 1988 and 1989 he was a finalist at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competitions. In 1991 he released two CDs. He became comparatively silent after that, but as of 2004 worked in Kenny Garrett's band.[1]
