Mason Brothers Band: Two Sides, One Story
by C. Michael Bailey
After spending 20 years performing under the leadership of others, British brothers Brad and Elliot Mason step out front, taking charge of an all-star band that redefines the trumpet-trombone front line of drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers of the '50s and '60s.

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. Wright has a full, round tone and a forthright attack; his fingering is deft, almost like a stage magician, and it bodes with it a whispering glissando in ...
Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Gina Vodegel
Determining the order of tracks on an album can be as significant as gathering the right ensemble of musicians for a project.

The opening “Free Man" grabs hold at once, with the ...
