Alan Brown

Alan Brown is a New Zealand musician with a rich history in the local jazz scene as a pianist & Hammond organist. From leading the successful jazz-funk band Blue Train in the 90s, the organ-based Alan Brown Trio in the 2000s, through to working with such local artists as Caitlin Smith and Nathan Haines, Alan’s music has recently explored a more ambient approach to composition. He has released two albums of solo piano improvisations recorded at the Auckland Town Hall (Silent Observer & Composure), plus a more electronica-based work Wind and Wire in 2020, and a recent Rattle release Murmur. He is also half of the electro-acoustic duo Alargo who have released three albums to date – the latest, Obscura, is also on the Rattle label.
