Not to be confused with Smooth Jazz guitar great dee Brown, D. Brown (Derek L. Brown) is a versatile multi‑instrumentalist, singer and composer whose expansive career spans Praise & Worship, Contemporary Christian, hip‑hop, jazz, rock, spoken word and R&B, along with two projects with the Smooth Jazz trio Copacetic. His latest album GENESIS turns up the voltage, teaming him with standout guests like guitarist Duane Tribune of Urban Jazz Coalition and trombonist Lexi Hammer for a soulful, high‑energy set loaded with poppin’ melodies, tight grooves, fiery solos and knockout horn arrangements. Riding the momentum of his seasonal single “Behold,” which soared to #2 on the SmoothJazz.com Holiday Chart, “Take Your Time” arrives poised to become one of this summer’s breakout Smooth Jazz favorites.
