SOUL'D U OUT ALL-STAR JAM SESSION
*with very special surprise guest* (wink, wink)
Trumpet sensation Maurice “Mobetta” Brown orbits simultaneously through three worlds: contemporary jazz, blues-rock and cutting-edge hip-hop. He is a mastermind as a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and producer. When Maurice picks up his horn, his soulful melodies soar into a rarefied space that uniquely marries be-bop to hip-hop and rock, producing his own distinctive sound.

He is a mastermind as a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and producer. When Maurice picks up his horn, his soulful melodies soar into a rarefied space that uniquely marries be-bop to hip-hop and rock, producing his own distinctive sound.
The Chicago native won the national Miles Davis Trumpet Competition as a teenager, followed by a move to Louisiana to study under legendary clarinetist Alvin Batiste. His critically acclaimed 2004 debut album, "HIP TO BOP," recorded in New Orleans, foreshadowed Brown’s unique talent for creating fresh bop-inflected jazz with an urban pulse. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina’s devastation forced Maurice to relocate, taking his horn to New York City where he established himself by recording with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, Macy Gray, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Lettuce, The Roots, and more.
His second album, 2009's "The Cycle of Love" was named by NPR and the Huffington Post as one of the best records of the year. Brown was then invited to join the newly formed Tedeschi Trucks Band where he won a Grammy Award for his horn arrangements on the band's debut album, "Revelator." His trumpet was a wailing counterpoint to Derek Trucks' searing guitar wizardry and became a staple of the TTB sound.
In 2018, Maurice joined Grammy award-winning superstar Anderson.Paak and The Free Nationals on their worldwide tours. He also performed on Ramsey Lewis and Kenny Garrett’s recent albums, while making his Broadway debut with Dave Chappelle along with Paak and bassist extraordinaire Thundercat. Brown then partnered with jazz megastar Kamasi Washington for his run of sold-out shows at Hollywood Bowl, Barclay’s Center and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest.

2024 finds Brown touring with multi-Grammy Award winning Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars as Silk Sonic, including performances at the Grammy Awards and more.
Simply put, Maurice "MoBetta" Brown is one of the most dynamic and prolific trumpeters and arrangers in the music world today, period.
