Justin Brown's NYEUSI
"...Oakland, California, native Justin Brown is an extremely busy bicoastal musician whose drumming with Thundercat, Gerald Clayton, Christian McBride, Stefon Harris, Kenny Garrett, Esperanza Spalding, and Vijay Iyer is simply a foretaste of his brilliant debut album as a leader with his band, Nyeusi." -Modern Drummer Magazine

2018 NPR Jazz Critics Music Poll- Best Debut
1. Justin Brown, Nyeusi (Biophilia)
Votes: 8
The drummer's rhythmically ingenious, synthesizer-rich, harmonically entrancing debut might well have emanated from "Jupiter's Giant Red Spot," as the leadoff track is called. Nyeusi ("black" in Swahili) is a striking Afrofuturist achievement, compact in length yet full of sonic imagination and lasting beauty. —David R. Adler
