American soul/jazz/jazz-funk, singer, songwriter, trumpeter, and recording artist.
Born: 30 October 1954 in Queens, New York City, New York, USA.
As a student of New York's High School Of Music And Art, Browne became a regular on the New York jazz scene.
In 1978, after he played a NY uptown club affiliated with George Benson, he was offered several solo recording contracts and ultimately signed with GRP (then distributed by GRP).
Browne played with Sonny Fortune, Lonnie Smith, and recorded eleven solo albums between 1979 and 2010.
His most well known track, taken from his second solo album "Love Approach" (1980), is the single "Funkin' For Jamaica" [[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/158928-Tom-Browne-Funkin-For-Jamaica]long version[/url]] (1980). Remaining a firm favorite amongst dance DJs globally, it is a memoir of the Jamaica neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens where Browne was born and raised.
