Braxton Cook | B-Side

Since graduating from The Juilliard School, Braxton has continued to tour with Christian Scott’s group as well as tour nationally and internationally with other groups such as The New Century Jazz Quintet, Ulysses Owens Quintet and Tomohiro Miro Quartet. In
addition, Braxton Cook and his newly formed band The N.E.W. will be touring nationally as well to support the release of his upcoming album, "Somewhere in Between."
"Somewhere in Between" is set to release early 2017, and will feature Braxton’s saxophone playing as well as his singing and songwriting. The over-arching concept behind this album is the importance of finding your own lane musically and artistically, and then trusting in it. It's about discovering yourself and not conforming to the pressures around us.
Braxton’s sound and musical identity has always been in between the Soul music that he was raised on and the Jazz that he has studied and grown to love. This album serves as inspiration to artists and people in all walks of life to embrace their uniqueness and own it.

Recently discovered your music and I must say I’m already a fan. The musicians you play with kick some serious musical a-s-s. Been wanting to hear those Jazz colors and tensions blended with r’n’b & modern grooves. So thanks. Keep it up.

The guitar player’s style reminds me of Kurt Rosenwinkel’s and that says it all.

Incredible band. I wonder how much student loan debt is on stage.
