Cecil Lee Brower (November 28, 1914 – November 21, 1965) was a classically trained American jazz violinist who became an architect of Western swing in the 1930s.
Perhaps the greatest swing fiddler, he could improvise as well as double shuffle and created his own style which became the benchmark for his contemporaries. Brower played in many Western bands, including his own, and was a renowned Nashville session musician.
He performed with some of the biggest names in country music until his death at age 50 while a member of Jimmy Dean's band.
Brower is a member of the Texas Music Hall of Fame.
