Cameron Brown and Dannie's Calypso was born out of Brown’s initial immersion in the music of Miles Davis, his seminal experience performing with Don Cherry, ten years of exhilarating intensity with Don Pullen, George Adams and Dannie Richmond, and years of touring with Sheila Jordan, Dewey Redman, and Joe Lovano. In addition to original compositions, the band experiments with Don Cherry’s "cocktail suite" concept: a harmelodic melding of a number of compositions into a cohesive, continuous collage of music.
