steven brown is a core member of cult avant garde band tuxedomoon. as a solo artist he has recorded some ten solo albums, including 'music for solo piano' (1983), 'searching for contact' (1987), 'half out' (1991), 'nine rain' (1996) and 'decade' (2003). 'brown plays 'tenco' was recorded in italy in 1987 and features steven's own interpretations of five songs written by cult artist luigi tenco. born in cassine in 1938, tenco scored many hits as a singer in italy during the 1960s, but shot himself through the head at the san remo festival in 1967 after ciao amore ciao (hello, love, hello), failed to reach the final. the suicide note explained that his suicide was a gesture of protest against the jury's taste in music. never available on cd before, 'brown plays tenco' has now been digitally remastered with twelve bonus tracks recorded live in italy in 1988. these include in-concert renditions of songs by luigi tenco as well as solo material by both brown (besides all that, rwf) and tuxedomoon (what use?, egypt, lowlands tone poem).
