About Me

.. The Virtual Jazz Band was founded in 2005 by Producer and keyboard player Wayne Brown for the purpose of bringing together great musicians and singers of varying styles and influences, whose common ground is a love of jazz. Wayne has collaborated with a wide and diverse array of artists as both a writer and producer including Billy Ocean , Ruby Turner, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Winwood, Jonathon Butler, George Michael, Nareena Pallot, Junior Giscombe, Janet Kay, Lulu, Alishas Attic... and played with jazz greats such as Coleman Hawkins and Tal Farlow. Wayne also produced the critically acclaimed album commitment on EMI for Teish O’ Day, which lead to performances at the Burt Bacharach tribute in 2000 at the Royal Albert Hall. Wayne is currently working on the official album to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Abolition of slavery, which will bring together some of the great voices of black music, past and present. for more information visit www.wilberforce2007.com. The forthcoming VJB album features performances from some great new vocalist’s waiting to be discovered by the world, each bringing their own unique style to the party. The album is called The Jazz Club volume 1, and it is an eclectic blend of musical styles ranging from Latin to Funk to Soul and the Blues! The sound is polished and soulful and the atmosphere live is electric. Watch this space The VJB is coming your way.
