He has performed on and contributed music to GRAMMY award-winning and nominated albums with artists that include Imani Winds, Harlem Quartet, Paquito D’Rivera, Dafnis Prieto, and Brian Lynch.  A member of D’Rivera’s regular group since 2007, Brown has also collaborated with artists in a wide array of genres that include Valerie Coleman, Sean Jones, Cho-Liang Lin, Christian McBride, the New York Voices, David Shifrin, Chris Thile (on the former American variety show Live from Here), Dontae Winslow, and Warren Wolf.

Brown has performed in many of the world’s greatest venues and festivals including the Kennedy Center, Newport Jazz Festival, and the Hollywood Bowl. 

As a composer and arranger, Brown has had music performed by premier groups that include the Philadelphia Orchestra and members of the Baltimore Symphony.  In 2023, he wrote the string quartet arrangements for Kendrick Scott’s composition Unearthed featuring the Harlem Quartet.
