DELIVERANCE THROUGH JAZZ
Kevin Brown -
larger >>
Saxophonist Kevin Brown travels the world playing jazz. And as for many people, music has been Kevin's companion through the ups and downs of his life.
Kevin was born totally blind, but doctors restored some of his vision when he was 6. He fully used his partial sight - even playing football as a kid and teaching himself to play the saxophone. But the day he was hit by a car, Kevin realized the limits of his eyesight. Soon after that, he began to focus more on music.
Kevin talks with Dick Gordon about the how jazz revived him when he needed it the most: Kevin lost his eyesight permanently at age 35.
