Maurice Mobetta Brown to Celebrate Release of 'Stand Up' with Talib Kweli

Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Maurice "Mobetta" Brown is no stranger to working with some of the most talented musicians in the world. He was mentored by the iconic Wynton Marsalis, arranged the horn section for Tedeschi Trucks Bands' 2011 Grammy award-winning album Revelator and has played alongside incredible stars such as Santigold, Wyclef Jean, Santana, Diddy, John Legend, and more. They call him "Mobetta" for a reason; from a musical standpoint, it doesn't get much better than Mo Brown.

Currently working on his solo material, Maurice's latest album "The Mood" features his live band in a studio album that showcases his soulful composition, ambitious production & adventurous improvisations in a seamless blend of jazz, hip hop, soul and sounds from around the world.

Brown tells us about the track: "Stand Up" is a call for humanity to take a stand for something & come together to make a positive difference in the world around us. We are in a political and economic climate that has been sapping the energy and sense of hope from everyone around us. Inspired by the advice "Stand for something or you'll fall for anything" that my father gave me when I was a kid, I want to call people to come together, take a stand for a better life & a better world and help one another in whatever way possible, big or small. To collectively be the change we wish to see in the world"
