Boyce Brown (April 16, 1910–January 30, 1959) was an American jazz dixieland alto saxophonist born in Chicago, Illinois, perhaps most notable for his musical works with Wingy Manone, Paul Mares and Danny Alvin. In 1953 Brown entered a monastery, and returned in 1956 to release his one and only album as Brother Matthew.
