The obscure Lee Brown was a pleasing blues-oriented singer and pianist who recorded seven sessions during 1937-1940 and two in 1946. The first six are reissued in full on this CD. Brown is accompanied by such major names on various tracks as guitarist Sleepy John Estes, trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Red Allen, clarinetist Buster Bailey, and pianists Sammy Price and Lil Armstrong (when Brown is not playing piano himself). The closest he came to a hit was "Little Girl Little Girl," which he remade in various ways a few times during his career. But, his enthusiasm aside, Lee Brown's recordings are actually most memorable for the supporting cast.
