Marion Brown - Porto Novo (Colored Vinyl, limited to 1500, indie exclusive)Altoist Marion Brown is perhaps best known for performances on albums by his contemporaries, such as Coltrane's Ascension, but Brown stands on his own as one of the most creative and important forces to come out of the 1960s avant garde jazz movement.
