Marion Brown Quartet is an album by American saxophonist Marion Brown, his debut as a leader. It was recorded in November 1965 in New York City, and was released in 1966 on the ESP-Disk label. The album features Brown on alto saxophone, Alan Shorter on trumpet, Bennie Maupin on tenor saxophone, Reggie Johnson and Ronnie Boykins on bass, and Rashied Ali on drums.[1]
The original 1966 LP release contained three tracks: "Capricorn Moon", "27 Cooper Square", and "Exhibition", the latter with Bennie Maupin on tenor sax. Later reissues replaced "Exhibition" with Alan Shorter's composition "Mephistopheles", though the track listing on the disk labels and LP cover remained unchanged. The 2005 CD reissue (ESP 4011) contains all four tracks.[1] "Capricorn Moon" and "Mephistopheles" also appear on the 2019 ezz-thetics (Hat Hut) album Capricorn Moon To Juba Lee Revisited.
The title of the track "27 Cooper Square" refers to an address in Manhattan's East Village which was formerly an artistic and musical hot spot, and home to LeRoi Jones, Archie Shepp, Elizabeth Murray, Sirone, among others.[2][3][4]
A month prior to the recording of Marion Brown Quartet, Wayne Shorter, along with a band that featured his older brother Alan on flugelhorn, recorded a version of "Mephistopheles" for his album The All Seeing Eye. "Capricorn Moon" appears on the 2007 Marion Brown tribute album Sweet Earth Flower by the band His Name Is Alive.
