Rob Shepherd’s Favorite Jazz Albums of the Decade

December 24, 2019 By Rob Shepherd

Rob Shepherd Favorite Jazz Albums Decade

Compiling a list of the greatest works of the last ten years is an inherently difficult proposition. The first complication lies in the fact that so many of my musical memories from the last decade are tied to recordings released prior to the period. Some of my best memories include the Charlie Parker song from 1950 that played at my wedding, the New Year’s Eve I first stumbled … [Read more...]

Stream Vocalist and Saxophonist Braxton Cook’s New Single “Don’t Wanna See You” (Premiere)

November 6, 2019 By Sébastien Hélary

Saxophonist turned vocalist Braxton Cook is heavily invested in developing his own unique sound as of late.

It's pretty great. To keep its dopeness on your mind, Cook just released a music video of him performing … [Read more...]

Braxton Cook – ‘No Doubt’ (Album Review)

November 20, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

The idea of Braxton Cook making an R&B album isn't all that surprising. The seeming ease with which he plays the saxophone always had an amiable quality to it. But when he broke out on vocals on his debut album, Somewhere in Between, last year, it was clear that Cook would be playing in this familiar pocket. Throughout his new album, No Doubt, out now, Cook is out front, either … [Read more...]
