ANTHONY BROWN'S ASIAN AMERICAN JAZZ ORCHESTRA
In celebration of their decade-long history, the SF native's ensemble unleashes a new commemorative disc, Ten at a show with the theme "Bridging Japantown and the Fillmore" - one that, no doubt, resonates with bandleader Anthony Brown, who has African American and Japanese roots.
