How Now Brown Cow

About Me

How Now Brown Cow is an all improv groove jazz thang. If you love the funked up soul sound of the 70s, the jazzy grooves from the chase scenes from SWAT or the get down phat soundtrack from Shaft then you will GET DOWN WITH BROWN. Featuring some of Seattle's finest improv musicians, How Now Brown Cow lays it down on the spot for you to enjoy.
