AL YOUNG & DARTANYAN BROWN LIVE! IN MARIN
AL YOUNG & DARTANYAN BROWN’S IOWA BLUES ALL-STARS Concert DVD
If you’ve attended one of Al’s readings/performances you know what a special gift he has. In 2005 Dartanyan Brown collaborated with him to create several very special performances. Al is offering a DVD concert featuring his transcendent poetry with some of the most soulful blues and jazz that you’ll ever want to hear. This performance features selections from Al’s immense body of work including Heaven and Coastal Nights and Inland Afternoons. He reads unaccompanied but is backed on several selections by the guitar and scat singing of Dartanyan and drummer Jaimeo Brown. After Al’s reading, you can enjoy a set of world-class blues played by Hall of Fame-class musicians. It’s not often that the blues gets together with poetry and Al has been quite excited about offering this DVD to his growing legion of fans worldwide.

Family affair
Go to the San Francisco Chronicle original
California Poet Laureate Al Young, a vocalist in his spare time, will join rising young jazz drummer Jaimeo Brown and his father, San Francisco bassist Dartanyan Brown - for two shows Sunday at Jazz at Pearl’s. The younger Brown, 26, is a master’s degree candidate at Rutgers University who has already played with jazz greats such as Wynton Marsalis and Bobby Hutcherson. His San Francisco band will feature pianist Michael Aaberg, tenor saxophonist Dana Stephens and bassist Dave Ewell.
“This is a homecoming of sorts for our boy,” says proud father Dartanyan Brown. “His mother, Marcia Miget” - a pianist and woodwind specialist who has played with Carlos Santana, among others - “will be joining us, too.”
