Dan Packel I was lucky enough to see the performance at the U of M art museum and it’s a miracle of modern technology that I can pull it up and become reacquainted with it 20 years later.

about

MARION BROWN
"Its beautiful, thank you. You really understand me."

ALL MUSIC
"Universal, reflective, meditative music that encompasses many traditions and notions of aesthetic evolution. Mysterious music, full of shadows and ostinato shapes that suggest more than there is, but never strays far enough outside it to challenge the emergent if impressionistic melodicism."

JAZZ TIMES
"Inspired and intuitive mastery of the saxophonist’s music."

ALL ABOUT JAZZ
"Sweet Earth Flower: a tribute to Marion Brown is His Name Is Alive's meditative ode to the work of the under-sung free jazz saxophonist. Drawing stylistic inspiration from Brown's introspective 1970s period lends a serene and exploratory feel to the session."

ORLANDO WEEKLY
"His Name is Alive deliver an album of cosmic free-jazz and successfully channel the rootsy, psychedelic ambience of Marion Brown’s best work."
