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.

The opening “Free Man" grabs hold at once, with the ...
Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by C. Michael Bailey
The first thing conspicuous about Brandon Wright's recording Boiling Point is his rhythm section, composed of pianist David Kikoski, bassist Hans Glawischnig and drummer Matt Wilson. A second curiosity is exactly who this precocious young saxophonist is to have such a rhythm section. Wright, the 2009 ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer award recipient originally from Woodcliff ...
