Braxton Cook is an Emmy Award Winning Artist and one of this generation's most exciting emerging voices in the Jazz world. Not only does he exhibit world-class virtuosity on the alto saxophone, but he is also a uniquely talented vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer whose sound blends Jazz, Soul, and Alternative R&B into a fresh new sound all his own. Braxton has played with Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah, Christian McBride, Jon Batiste, and many others.
After releasing his debut EP and a highly acclaimed project "Braxton Cook Meets Butcher Brown", Braxton released his debut album "Somewhere In Between". It has amassed millions of streams and downloads on Spotify and Apple Music and has garnered praise by musicians, listeners and critics alike: "the album demonstrates unmatched flexibility by merging multiple genres into an ardent, passionate and soul-filled project." Ebony Magazine listed Braxton as "Top 5 Jazz Artists to Watch" alongside Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington Butcher Brown and Kris Bowers. Other critics have called Braxton a "jazz marvel" and "jazz prodigy". Braxton released his second album "No Doubt" in late 2018, which debuted at #2 on iTunes Jazz Charts and has amassed more than 6M streams on Spotify. During the pandemic he released "Fire Sign" which attracted more than 1M streams in the first weeks.
He's performed with Rihanna, Solange Knowles, Phony Ppl, and with Tom Misch at Coachella. He appeared with Quincy Jones at The Shed and has performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, at the venerable Ronnie Scotts in London, and at other festivals and venues all over the world.
Braxton Cook is a jazz artist on the move.
Marquis Hill is a renowned musician, composer, and bandleader from Chicago's South Side. He went to school at Kenwood Academy and learned on the bandstand at jam sessions conducted by Fred Anderson, Ernest Dawkins, and Von Freeman. At age 27, Hill won the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz prize for trumpet and established himself as an international presence virtually overnight. Over the course of eight releases - many released through his own label Black Unlimited - Hill has established a distinct sound, thoroughly his own, fusing elements of jazz, hip hop, funk, soul, and R&B - all essential elements of the rich African-American creative heritage he's part of. "It all comes from the same tree," he says. "They simply blossomed from different branches."
On Hill's recent recordings for Concord Jazz, his fleet melodies weave through slinky rhythms derived from contemporary soul. He's due to release New Gospel Revisited, his next album, in 2022 with his longtime band, the Blacktet, which the Chicago Tribune called "a remarkably polished, immensely attractive ensemble."
