The nighttime is the theme for tenor saxophonist Don Braden's third Criss Cross release. On After Dark, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Carl Allen remain from Braden's previous two releases. They are joined by trumpeter Scott Wendholt, alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, trombonist Noah Bless, and pianist Darrell Grant to perform five originals, two standards, one jazz classic, and one pop song, Stevie Wonder's "Creepin'," arranged for septet. As with his previous recording, Braden's composing and arranging skills are the focus of the recording. Compositions such as the title track, "R.E.M.," and "Dawn" feature the septet and are characterized by Braden's harmonic imagination, challenging melodies, and sense of swing. But Braden is also a player, his distinctive sound and improvisational ideas displayed on "Night," an up-tempo version of "You and the Night and the Music" and Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Dream." This recording is one of 1994's best releases and a positive step in Braden's rapid development. ~ Greg Turner, 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.
