Tom Browne..."Mr. Jamaica Funk". Kickin' Trumpet and rich jazz melodies.
Tom Browne's success was inevitable as he began to carve a path for his musical future early on as a student of New York's High School of Music and Art. During this period, Browne became a regular on the New York jazz scene.
In 1978 after Browne played an NY uptown club affiliated with George Benson, he was offered several solo recording contracts and ultimately signed with GRP Records (then distributed by Arista). On GRP, he recorded four solo albums. His debut release, "Browne Sugar" (1979) dominated the jazz charts for numerous weeks while his next two releases "Love Approach" (1980) and "Magic" (1981) each sold 500,000 units earning gold records. "Love Approach" also spawned the hit song "Funkin' for Jamaica," which earned him a gold single and today, is still a favorite among dance DJ's around the world.
