In My Solitude: Live at Grace Cathedral

Branford Marsalis

"In My Solitude: Live at Grace Cathedral," the Grammy AwardÂ® winner's new solo saxophone album

National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Master, renowned Grammy AwardÂ®-winning saxophonist and Tony AwardÂ® nominated composer Branford Marsalis is one of the most revered instrumentalists of his time. The three-time Grammy AwardÂ® winner has continued to exercise and expand his skill as an instrumentalist and composer. For "In My Solitude: Live at Grace Cathedral," Marsalis one of the few illustrious jazz artists who have performed at Grace since Duke Ellington in 1965 gave a performance of both composed and improvised music. "In My Solitude" features an eclectic mix of repertoire, from C.P.E. Bach, solo saxophone pieces by Steve Lacy and Ryo Noda, and a beautiful version of Hoagy Carmichael s Stardust, all connected by improvisations from Branford, which keeps the music flowing and holds the album together.

Having gained initial acclaim through his work with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his brother Wynton's quintet in the early 1980s, Branford Marsalis has performed and recorded with a who's-who of jazz giants including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock and Sonny Rollins. He has also collaborated with such diverse artists as Sting, the Grateful Dead and Bruce Hornsby. His expansive interests are further reflected in his explorations in film, radio and television, including his role as the musical director of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Marsalis has also acted in such popular movies such as "Throw Mama from the Train" and "School Daze," provided music for "Mo' Better Blues" and other films and hosted National Public Radio's syndicated program "Jazz Set."
