Alain Bradette "State of Mind"
A delightful collection, this CD of original jazz instrumentals is entirely contemporary-sounding, while strongly rooted in the best traditions of melody and artful playing. "State of Mind" is the brainchild of tenor and soprano saxophonist Alain Bradette, who also performs duties as composer, arranger and producer for a robust ensemble of first rate musicians. A thoroughly enjoyable listen, this beautifully balanced CD will please both casual jazz fans who appreciate accessible compositions and purists who will relish Bradette's undiluted approach to music. A rare treat that can be played with confidence in any setting.
------------------------------------------------------------
"it's not surprising that State of Mind emerges as a confident and well-polished debut, in which Mr. Bradette establishes himself as a fully featured modern jazz saxophonist and composer."
