A painter named Marion Brown

One of the most subtle saxophonists of his generation, Marion Brown was also a painter, but that is less well known. There is almost no information on this subject or even representation of his paintings. Recently for a radio program devoted to jazz and visual art, I met the lucky owner of a painting by Marion Brown, here is the reproduction.

    I do not think Marion Brown wanted to represent specific musicians, but as a painting belongs to the one who looks at it, you can identify specific musicians if you think they are here.

    I didn't know, but I'm not surprised. Pity he did use any for album art.

    A number of his paintings & drawings (& poetry too) can be seen in the book "Recollections" by Marion Brown (Jas Publikationen 1984)
