The Best of Braun collects ten of trumpeter Rick Braun's biggest radio hits, plus one newly recorded bonus track. Hits like "Hollywood & Vine," "Notorious," "Club Harlem," and "Missing in Venice" fuse cool-toned smooth jazz with R&B, light funk, and adult contemporary pop for a catchy, accessible sound. Smooth jazz fans will find a great deal of interest here. ~ Steve Huey

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars In a world of "saxaclones" Rick Braun is a refreshing change
I really like this compilation. If one listens to the world of Contemporary Jazz or "smooth" Jazz for very long, it becomes apparent that amid the electronica, the saxophone is the most common of the traditional instruments. Even the drums are electronic to a large extent in the C-Jazz world. Rick Braun's trumpet is a welcome breath of fresh air. While the muted trumpet immediately conjures up images of Miles Davis, Braun himself doesn't seem to subscribe to the "less is more" philosophy that Miles made his trademark. Braun is truly an excellent technician, yet his music is not wrapped around the blaring, driving, sound made the vogue by Maynard Ferguson or Arturo Sandoval. Braun's sound is almost conversational. In my humble opinion, I like what he has to say. Take a listen to the track entitled "Groovis" and you'll see that not all C-Jazz is to be relegated to the "smooth" cubby-hole. This is a highly recommended compilation of Rick Braun's best.
