Tony Russell "Charles" Brown (13a de Septembro, 1922 – 21a de Januaro, 1999) estis usona kantisto kaj pianisto de bluso, kies mild-tona, trankvilema blus-klubeca stilo influis la blus-muzikon en la 1940-aj kaj 1950-aj jaroj. Li faris kelkajn sukcesajn registraĵojn, kiel "Driftin' Blues" kaj "Merry Christmas Baby".[1]
Kariero[redakti | redakti fonton]
En Los Angeles, alveno de afrik-usonanoj el la Suda Usono dum la Dua Mondmilito kreis etendan noktokluban aktivadon en kiuj nigrulaj muzikistoj tendencis malpliigi la plej akrajn bluselementojn de sia stilo. La blus-kluba stilo de malpeza ritmobaso, dekstra-mana tintosonado de piano kaj mildaj voĉoj iĝis populara, reprazentita ekzemple de la ĵaza piano de Nat King Cole. Kiam Cole lasis Los Angeles por turnei tralande, lia loko estis okupita de la bando de Johnny Moore nome Three Blazers, kie aperis Brown ĉe piano kaj voĉo.[2]
The Three Blazers kontraktis ĉe Exclusive Records, kaj ilia registro de 1945 de "Drifting Blues", kun Brown ĉe la piano kaj voĉoj, restis en la usona sukcesa listo de la gazeto Billboard dum ses monatoj, metante Brown ĉe la pinto de la muzika evoluo kiu ŝanĝis la usonan muzikan panoramon.[3] Brown estris la grupo en serio de pluaj sukcesoj ĉe Aladdin dum la venontaj tri jaroj, kiel "New Orleans Blues" kaj la origina versio de "Merry Christmas Baby" (ambaŭ en 1947) kaj "More Than You Know" (1948).[4] La stilo de Brown dominis en la influa klubaro de Suda Kalifornio en Central Avenue, en Los Angeles, dum tiu periodo. Li influis super muzikistoj kaj kantistoj kiel Floyd Dixon, Cecil Gant, Ivory Joe Hunter, Percy Mayfield, Johnny Ace kaj Ray Charles.[2]
