Braxton Cook

Fire Sign Braxton Cook

Braxton Cook is a world-class alto saxophonist, vocalist, and composer. His decidedly individual 21st century approach integrates contemporary and post-bop jazz, soul, funk, rap, and even gospel. In concert leading his own group or as a member of Christian Scott aTunde Adjua's band, these genres are often displayed inside the same composition. Since his independently released debut offering Sketch in 2014, Cook has become an in-demand session player who has worked with Mac Miller, Middle Clash, Lion Babe, and Lauren Desberg, in addition to Scott. As a live and touring player, he has appeared with the Christian McBride Big Band, Marquis Hill, Solange Knowles, and Rhianna. 2017's Somewhere in Between was the first outing to showcase his vocal abilities.
