dr, *1944 US, Portland, Oregon
Musician of Jazz and R&B/Soul
Mel Brown (born in 1944) is an American jazz drummer, and one of the most prominent jazz musicians in Portland, Oregon, United States since his arrival in 1973.Brown was employed as a session musician for many Motown Records artists in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, and Marvin Gaye. It was not Motown's policy to print the names of the backing band members at the time, so he is not credited on the album notes for many of his recordings.
