About Sheldon Brown
Edgetone Records documents Brown's long participation in the Bay Area creative-music scene as a composer and woodwind multi-instrumentalist leading the Sheldon Brown Group and other ensembles.[1]
The label biography follows Blood of the Air, built from poet Philip Lamantia's speech melodies, and Brown's silent-film scores for Club Foot Orchestra; his Ouroboros work adds a free-improvising quartet setting.[1][2]
Blood of the Air
Brown's extended composition uses the speech melodies of Beat-era poet Philip Lamantia as musical source material.[1]
Silent-film scores
The label biography credits Brown with music for Metropolis, Sherlock Jr., Pandora's Box, and other Club Foot Orchestra programs.[1]
Ouroboros
The Bay Area quartet places Brown on tenor saxophone, clarinet, and bass clarinet in a free-improvising ensemble.[2]
