With a wealth of tenor saxophonists among his generation, Don Braden might get lost in a crowd when compared to those who have signed to major labels or have expensive publicity firms. But Braden has been a model of consistency as a leader over his career, including this 2005 performance recorded at Cecil's, featuring his trio with organist Kyle Koehler and drummer Cecil Brooks III. Blending elements of hard bop and soul-jazz, Braden launches the set with a driving take of "You Can't Hide Love," previously a hit for the R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire. He has equal success with another R&B favorite, the ballad "The Closer I Get to You," by transforming it into a viable soul-jazz vehicle, backed by Koehler's unpretentious chords and Brooks' minimal percussion. Another R&B smash is "Feel Like Makin' Love," which would seem a more likely candidate for a smooth jazz artist, but the tenor saxophonist's potent solo and breezy setting will win over the mainstream jazz audience. But Braden is at the top of his game during two unaccompanied pieces, "Looking for Her" (a soulful tribute to his newborn daughter) and the lush miniature "Moving In." This well-recorded live date with an attentive, not overly noisy audience is well worth investigating. ~ Ken Dryden

In The MidstA palindrome year happens only once in a while. 2002 is such a year.Read it forward or backward; It still says 2002. The last time such a yearhappened was 1991. The next time will be 2112. So a palindrome yearcomes once a century. Likewise the music of In the midst may come once every 100 years.Genius requires creating a brand new direction for a field. If that is so, Duke Ellington did that in the 20th century. In the midst may be doing it in the 21st century. But let the people judge.Already ten year olds geared to hip hop crave more of the In the midst sound. Adults of different races drift toward the sound like folks following the piper's flute.Look closely at the CD cover. See Cliff, Jay, and Bruce abstractly placed on a splashing of musical instruments and buildings in a jazz city. God's angel dust flows from their sound and DeVonne Gardner's voice in the midst ...
