Jazz
Don Braden - Arranger, Digital Mixing, Editing, Mastering, Sax (Tenor)
Cecil Brooks III - Drums, Producer
Conrad Herwig - Arranger, Trombone
Kyle Koehler - Organ
Ever since his arrival in New York back in 1984, Don Braden has been one of the most impressive tenor saxophonists of his generation. Peter Watrous, in The New York Times, called Braden "brilliant and assured" while venerable drummer Roy Haynes said he is "one of the young lions of the tenor saxophone." After attending Harvard University, Braden played with such luminaries as Betty Carter, Dr. Lonnie Smith, the Wynton Marsalis Quintet and enjoyed stints with Tom Harrell, the Mingus Big Band, Art Farmer, Kenny Barron, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and others too numerous to mention. With his long-time friends, Messrs Koehler, Herwig and Brooks, Braden once again shows what has made him one of the top saxophonists of the 21st century.

Tenor saxophonist Don Braden's 2004 release looks very much back to the 1960s stylewise, even though most of the songs are recent originals. The tenor/trombone front line with Conrad Herwig is a little reminiscent of the Jazz Crusaders, Braden's "No Complaints" sounds similar to the Art Blakey recording of "Blues March," and in general the music falls squarely into the worlds of hard bop and soul-jazz. However, that does not mean that the music is stale or overly predictable. Braden has a big tone and a fluent improvising style, trombonist Herwig is quite versatile, organist Kyle Koehler is both in the tradition and fairly individual, and drummer Cecil Brooks III always keeps the momentum moving. Fans of the idiom will definitely enjoy this spirited set.

Don Braden
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Born: Nov 20, 1963 in Cincinnati, OH
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Hard Bop
Don Braden is an impressive tenor-saxophonist whose style pushes at the boundaries of hard bop while staying a solid part of the tradition. He was raised in Louisville, KY, and began on tenor when he was 13; within two years, he was playing professionally. He played in the McDonald's All-American High School Jazz Band and, although he studied engineering at Harvard (1981-1984), Braden also played in the Harvard jazz band. In 1984, Braden moved to New York, working with the Harper Brothers, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Betty Carter (with whom he made his recording debut). He toured with Wynton Marsalis (as Branford Marsalis' first replacement) during 1986-1987 and since then has played in many settings, including with OTB, Roy Haynes, Tony Williams, Freddie Hubbard, J.J. Johnson, Tom Harrell, Art Farmer, and the Mingus Big Band. As a leader, Braden has recorded for Criss Cross, Landmark, Epicure, and RCA.
