Tom Browne, Brit Funk Association

Tom Browne is an American jazz trumpeter, who rose to prominence due to the significant critical and commercial success of his recordings between 1979 and 1984. Tom re-emerged in 1994, where he released his first in a series of recordings for Hip Bop Records entitled “Mo’ Jamaica Funk.” In 2003, Hip Bop released “The Tom Browne Collection.”

All-Star Brit Funk Supergroup featruring members of Beggar & Co, Hi-Tension, Central Line and ex-members of Light of the World & Incognito.

The Brit-Funk genre started in the late 1970’s and was a catch-all phrase coined by Record Mirror Magazine’s James Hamilton to describe the distinctive mix of jazz-fusion-funk-disco music being made by UK bands such as Level 42, Light of the World, Freeez, Shakatak, Central Line, Hi-Tension, Morrissey / Mullen, Second Image, Direct Drive, Linx and Incognito.

The Brit-Funk Association is a new project featuring musicians from Beggar & Co, Central Line, Hi-Tension and ex-members of Light of the World and Incognito to perform from each of the band’s back catalogue.
