Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Woodrow Wilkins
It's never a bad thing when an artist emerges with a collection of more original music than remakes of standards. And when the covers are unique arrangements, or of songs not copied ad nauseam, so much the better, as is the case with saxophonist Brandon Wright's Boiling Point.

Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The appeal of saxophonist, Brandon Wright comes fast, bearing a rather lyrical swagger. This young tenor player shows plenty of confidence--even cockiness--and a mature attitude on Boiling Point.

by C. Michael Bailey

Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Dan Bilawsky
The word tenor, in Latin, refers to “a continuous holding to a course," and tenor saxophonist Brandon Wright does just that on Boiling Point. Whether Wright is engaging in a musical boxing match with trumpeter Alex Sipiagin or crooning over pianist David Kikoski on an established ballad, he always seems to maintain a consistent musical presence ...
