Following the 2004 Grammy®-nominated Eternal, and drawing upon a world of inspirations including John Coltrane, a 17th Century English composer, an American Indian warrior and a Japanese horror film, Braggtown is the Branford Marsalis Quartet's most comprehensive and compelling recording to date. Marsalis selected the strongest new songs from his current repertoire, with an emphasis on what he describes as "that kind of high-energy music we've been playing in live performance. A jazz recording in no uncertain terms, Braggtown finds four exceptional musicians Branford Marsalis (tenor and soprano saxophones), Joey Calderazzo (piano), Eric Revis (bass) and Jeff Tain Watts (drums) at the top of their collective game.
