How Now Brown Cow is an all improv groove jazz thang. If you love the funked up soul sound of the 70s, the jazzy grooves from the chase scenes from SWAT or the get down, phat soundtrack from Shaft then you will GET DOWN WITH BROWN. Often compared to Average White Band, Tower of Power, Miles Davis (Electric Band), Weather Report, Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters, and P-Funk, How Now Brown Cow have a sound that appeals to fans of jazz, funk, blues, soul and anything with a groove. How Now Brown Cow is Dave Kurtiak (bass), Marc Hager (keys), Donovan Pfeifer (drums), Brad Schrandt (sax and flute) and features special guests players regularly.
