“…There’s no predicting where Brackeen will take you, but it’s always worth the trip.” – Larry Appelbaum, JazzTimes

NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Nominated pianist/composer Joanne Brackeen, assembled this all-star group for a week of sold out performances at The Jazz Standard in New York City. Special guest saxophonist, Ravi Coltrane, is featured with bassist Ira Coleman and Cuban drummer Horacio ‘El Negro” Hernandez on drums. They perform a range of Standards and some Joanne Brackeen original compositions, a group of stellar performances on the album Joanne Brackeen: Saturday – Live at The Jazz Standard.

“Joanne’s music embodies a continuous, building, rejuvenating energy that also ignites the listener. And she swings surely and deeply while she hears ahead and around corners in finding harmonies that are personal and yet sound universal.The advantage to hearing Joanne on a recording is that you can hear the music again and again… discovering new dimensions of feeling, time, and fun.” – Nat Hentoff

Brackeen has been serious about Jazz piano since her late teens, when she became part of the LA jazz scene. She worked with Teddy Edwards, Dexter Gordon, Harold Land and Charles Lloyd before moving to New York. After arriving in the Jazz Mecca, she became the first women to fill the distinguished piano chair with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. She proudly admits that Art called her his “adopted daughter”. Before she put together her own group, she also worked with Stan Getz, Freddie Hubbard, and Joe Henderson. Stan Getz wrote that “I found Joanne Brackeen to be an extremely talented performer and one of the most original composers to every work in my group.”

“WOW! Ms Brackeen’s depth and breath (both compositionally and performance-wise) is stunning. I generally think that all solo piano discs are good, but some are better. Popsicle Illusion defines the new category of “More Better”.” – C. Michael Bailey, allaboutjazz.com
