Jazz / Post-Bop, Hard Bop
Recorded January 2, 1991 in New York City, NY, USA by Max Bolleman
Don Braden (Ts)
Tom Harrell (Tp / Flh)
Benny Green (P)
Christian McBride (B)
Carl Allen (D)
Don Braden's debut as a leader found the 27-year-old already a talented hard bop-based tenor saxophonist. Teamed up with other young all-stars (trumpeter Tom Harrell, pianist Benny Green, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Carl Allen), Braden performs three originals, a trio of superior standards (including "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise" and "Will You Still Be Mine"), and an obscure Jackie McLean blues ("Condition Blue"), plus an acoustic version of Herbie Hancock's funky "Butterfly." The young tenor was on his way to shedding his influences and developing a strong voice of his own, and this largely straight-ahead date is excellent. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
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.
