Biography

Boyce Brown (April 16, 1910 – January 30, 1959) was an American jazz dixieland alto saxophonist born in Chicago, Illinois.

Brown worked with Wingy Manone, Paul Mares and Danny Alvin. His best-known recordings are a 1935 session with Paul Mares and his Friars Society Orchestra and a 1939 session with Jimmy McPartland & his Jazz Band, which was first released as part of Decca's Chicago Jazz album. In both sessions, Brown demonstrates a driving, harmonically advanced style. In 1953 Brown entered a monastery, and returned in 1956 to release his one and only album as Brother Matthew, backed by a band organised by Eddie Condon.
