Born: 30 October 1954 in Queens, New York City, New York, USA.
As a student of New York's High School Of Music And Art, Browne became a regular on the New York jazz scene.
In 1978, after he played a NY uptown club affiliated with [[artist:George Benson]], he was offered several solo recording contracts and ultimately signed with [[label:GRP]] (then distributed by [[label:Arista]]).
Browne played with [[artist:Sonny Fortune]], [[artist:Lonnie Smith]], and recorded eleven solo albums between 1979 and 2010.
His most well known track, taken from his second solo album "[m=158930]" (1980), is the single "[m=1119805]" [[long version](https://www.discogs.com/master/158928-Tom-Browne-Funkin-For-Jamaica)] (1980).
