Braxton Cook is known for his world-class skills as an alto saxophonist, vocalist, songwriter, producer and composer. With a blend of jazz, soul, and alt-R&B, he has carved out a unique, melodic sound that has made him one of the most exciting voices of his generation.
By 18, he was already performing in iconic D.C. jazz venues, and soon after, he became a regular member of trumpeter Christian Scott’s band, gaining exposure on several of his albums. He also toured and performed with Christian McBride Big Band, Tom Misch, Marquis Hill, Mac Miller, and Rihanna. As a composer, Braxton has worked alongside Jon Batiste on the Academy Award Winning Pixar film “Soul”.
Braxton’s solo career took off with the release of his debut album Somewhere In Between, which gained millions of streams. His subsequent eight albums continue to earn widespread acclaim.
Braxton Cook’s newest August 2025 album “Not Everyone Can Go” is a mix of jazz and R&B, not quite Quiet Storm, that feels indebted to similar hybrids of yesteryear. The album conjures images of bright evening sunshine, when the temperature begins to cool. “This particular record, is a reminder to myself and others to take stock in what it is you do have and be grateful for breath in your lungs.”
