About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Oscar Brown, Jr.'s debut recording is a true classic. A brilliant lyricist, a dramatic singer, and a highly individual genius in his own way, Brown performed a dozen memorable selections for this album. His lyrics to "Work Song," "Watermelon Man," "Afro-Blue," and particularly "Dat Dere" are famous; "But I Was Cool" and "Signifyin' Money" are humorous; "Bid 'Em In" is a chilling depiction of a slave auction; and "Rags and Old Iron" is quite touching. Essential music from an underrated great. [In addition to the original program, a 1996 CD reissue added five previously unreleased selections from the same sessions (most of which were later remade), including four from the Brown musical Kicks and Company.] Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

March 12, 2009: Sin & Soul and then some is right up there with Miles Davis "Kinda Blue" and John Coltrane's "Love Supreme" as far as definitive jazz albums. The songs range from the humorus "Signifyin Monkey" to the sentimental "Dat Dere" to the profound "Brown Baby" if you are a fan of vocal jazz this album must be in your collection... in fact if you have two ears and a soul this album must be in your collection. Oscar Brown is simply one of the greatest.
