The Jazz Guitar of

Andy Brown

News

Updated September 2026

I have a brand new CD with the marvelous Chicago pianist Kevin Fort titled "Chiaroscuro." Kevin and I have played duets off and on for many years and I was delighted when he asked me to make this record with him. Inspired by the famous duet recordings of Bill Evans and Jim Hall, we put our own twist on this intimate format. The tunes we recorded include some great standards and several of Kevin's ingenious original tunes. You can stream the new album on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music and You Tube Music. We'll be performing at Merriman's Playhouse in South Bend, IN on October 30th.

The Andy Brown Quartet will be at Chicago's famed Green Mill on Friday/Saturday October 23/24 . Featuring Jeremy Kahn on piano, Joe Policastro on bass and Phil Gratteau on drums. I'm really excited to play with this all-star Chicago rhythm section at this historic jazz venue!

I'm also fortunate to play these Steady Gigs every week! Thanks to so many of you who come by and make them special!!
