Don Braden - Earth Wind and Wonder, Vol. 2 (2023)

Saxophonist, composer and arranger Don Braden is excited to announce the release of "Earth Wind and Wonder Volume 2", a follow up to his lauded first volume, released in 2018. Like its predecessor, "Earth Wind and Wonder Volume 2" reimagines a selected repertoire of two of Braden’s early musical influences: Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder. The output is as energetic as it is grooving, which we’ve come to expect from the imaginative arrangements and critical reception of Braden’s previous installment. Throughout Earth Wind and Wonder Volume 2, Braden can be heard on tenor saxophone, flute and alto flute. Joining him are Art Hirahara and Miki Hayama on piano and keyboard, bassist Kenny Davis, drummer Jeremy Warren and percussionist Kahlil Kwame Bell.
