Supporting Macy “I Try” Gray at Ronnie Scott’s familiarise yourself if you have not already with the “future jazz soul” of Braxton Cook and his latest album just released called No Doubt.

Hailing from Maryland it is a year since Somewhere in Between when the former Julliard student and Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah sideman first surfaced under his own steam. Back in 2014 marlbank first caught the alto saxophonist whose tart, communicative sound lands somewhere near to that of Kenny Garrett’s live in Sligo with Christian Scott in a band that featured the flautist/vocalist star Elena Pinderhughes who was new to the Scott set-up at the time. Cook has also worked with Butcher Brown the funk and jazz-rooted band signed to London vinyl label Gearbox.
