Hip to Bop is unusually sophisticated and timeless for a debut album. Trumpeter Maurice Brown's original pulse-quickening compositions will make die-hard jazz fans feel like they're listening to a long-lost album by the Miles Davis Quintet, while causing others to exclaim, ''This is jazz?!'' In the first track, Rapture, the thumping heartbeat of the bass will envelop your ears, and then quietly explode into a melodic cacophony of horns, drums, and piano. But just as Maurice quickens your pulse, he'll then pepper your ear with a soulful groove in It's a New Day, before letting you catch your breath with a caressing melody, Mi Amor. It's at this point you realize this is no ordinary jazz trumpeter and this is certainly no ordinary contemporary jazz album. In A Call for All Angels, Anazao, Conceptions, and Look Ma No Hands, he illustrates his ability to create a comfort zone from the ballad to the virtuoso. In the album's liner notes, jazz great Ellis Marsalis proclaims, ''Hip to Bop is an appropriate title for a CD that employs background riffs, wide intervals in the melody, a trumpet solo with a wah wah pedal all combined to connect the modern idiom to the BeBop tradition. He is paying homage to the past with elements of the present serving as the foundation for future concepts. Such is the tasteful compositional technique of Maurice Brown.'' Without a doubt, Hip to Bop belongs in the musical library of every music lover.

One of the brightest stars on the contemporary jazz scene, Maurice Brown was born on January 6, 1981, in Harvey, IL. Showing a remarkable affinity for the trumpet, Brown performed with Ramsey Lewis at the Symphony Center in Chicago while still a student at Hillcrest High School. Following graduation, he received a full scholarship to attend Northern Illinois University, and later continued his studies at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA, where he worked with famed clarinetist Alvin Batiste. Brown relocated to New Orleans shortly thereafter, sitting in with numerous jazz veterans, including Clark Terry, Johnny Griffin, Ellis Marsalis, and Lonnie Plaxico, as well as recording as a sideman with Curtis Fuller, Fred Anderson, Roy Hargrove, Michelle Carr, and Ernest Dawkins, among others. In 2001 he won first place in the National Miles Davis Trumpet Competition and in 2003 he released his first album as a bandleader, heading his Maurice Brown Quintet for Hip to Bop, which showed an amazing affinity for bop-inflected jazz, along with a willingness to expand the genre's lexicon through innovative techniques like playing trumpet solos through a wah-wah pedal. Brown continues to live in New Orleans, playing both with his quintet and a hip-hopfunk combo called Soul'd U Out.
