Maurice “Mobetta” Brown’s jazz bona fides are 24K. He owned the Miles Davis Trumpet Competition as a teenager and was a protégé of Louisiana clarinet legend Alvin Batiste, but calling him just a jazz artist is far too reductive.
Besides being a former member of all-star blues group Tedeschi Trucks Band, the trumpet wunderkind has deep cred in hip-hop and beyond. He’s recorded with the legit likes of Talib Kweli, The Roots, De La Soul, Wyclef Jean and Aretha Franklin, as well as performed with new-gen royalty like Anderson .Paak, Thundercat and Kamasi Washington.
Come see Mobetta’s electric collision of bebop and hip-hop up close and personal.
7 and 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, Judson’s Live, $75-$125.
Judson’s Live, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
