below is bio from http://www.answers.com/topic/rob-brown
The New York based alto saxophonist Rob Brown represented a new hope for many jazz listeners who felt their music might be becoming a mite cowardly as the 80’s began winding down. With many of the genre’s players more intent on modeling suits than blowing hard, the sound of Brown’s whirling dervish solos, often delivered with his neck inflated like an Australian lizard, was the sound of freedom. Brown and his associates represent a welcome rekindling of the fires that had been burning in the ’60s and ’70s. To the free jazz fan, there might be no better 90’s combo than bassist William Parker’s ensemble entitled In Order to Survive. It is a pity that the group fell victim to the type of competitive personality clashes that have always plagued the New York music scene. For a time, the rhythm section of Parker, pianist Cooper Moore and drummer Suzie Ibarra was a wonder, creating more sound than 100 rock bands. Brown and fellow saxman Assif Tsahar blew over the top, not using words but instantly explaining the concept of “ecstatic music” that has been used to try and describe this kind of music.
Brown, who has recorded a series of projects on his own, and has also been associated with the fine guitarist Joe Morris as well as pianist Matthew Shipp, began playing piano in second grade and later switched to reed instruments.
