Jazzhead takes great pleasure in announcing Cyclosporin, from one of Australia’s most awarded, prolific and respected jazz musicians, Allan Browne. In Cyclosporin, Allan is joined by the fabulous talents of Eugene Ball, Nick Haywood, Geoff Hughes and David Rex – this is the Allan Browne Quintet.

“Browne’s drumming skills underpin performances that dance with collaborative energy, wit and intelligence. Here is a revealing glimpse of a man who is musical to the very core of his soul.” KENNY WEIR (MELBOURNE HERALD SUN)

Allan has worked with over 35 international jazz icons including Milt Jackson, Jay McShann, Herb Ellis, Phil Woods, Al Cohn, Plas Johnson, Jimmy Witherspoon, Art Hodes, Barney Kessel, Urbie Green, Buddy Tate, Joe Newman, Wild Bill Davidson, Charlie Bird, Emily Remla and Richie Cole.

Allan’s past albums include the Paul Grabowsky Trio’s ‘Six by Three’ (1990, ARIA Best Jazz Album ) and ‘When Words Fail’ (1995, ARIA Best Jazz Album).
