Now's the Time: Norman Brown

I no longer have access to industry sales figures, but it's a safe bet that Norman Brown is Kansas City's best-selling living jazz export. Consider these facts: The guitarist hosted last month's Smooth Music Cruise. His song "Let's Take a Ride" was 2007's biggest smooth jazz hit. This video has 54,000 views. And the Kansas City, KS, native is the headliner at the Uptown Theater Saturday night.
