Most underrated artist for me is the late, great Oscar Brown Jr.
First came to my attention via Gilles Peterson’s original Mad on Jazz Radio London shows in the late 80’s (Work Song, The Snake etc) and was so proud to have had a hand in bringing him over to London (the first time since 1963) for three nights at the Jazz Cafe in 1991.
I think his talents were so wide-ranging (he was a singer, songwriter, playwright, poet, political activist and beyond) that he didn’t fit conveniently into any one box. Consequently no one quite knew how to ‘sell’ him to a wider audience.
This year is the centenary of his birth and his family are launching a series of events in Chicago which will hopefully go some way to doing just that.
Gone far too soon. There’s a lovely tribute on Facebook by Elvis Costello and his wife, the pianist Diana Krall (couldn’t figure out how to post unfortunately).
