Sorry to hear this. I played with Paul a lot in Bill Hardman & Junior Cook's group. Fine musician and quite the ladies' man.

I recall seeing Paul Brown with the Bill Hardman / Junior Cook Quintet. It was a wonderful group. Hardman was in great form. However the pianist was not Michael Weiss, but rather was Walter Bishop, Jr. If I remember correctly the drummer was Leroy Williams, who also played beautifully.

It was a memorable evening of outstanding jazz.

I worked with the band 1983-1987. Leroy was usually on drums.
