Blending jazz, soul, and alternative R&B, Braxton Cook is one of this generation’s most exciting emerging voices in the jazz world.

Growing up in Maryland, Braxton was selected in 2013 as a semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition. In 2015, he graduated from The Juilliard School where he studied Jazz Composition. Not only does he exhibit world-class virtuosity on the alto saxophone, but he is also a uniquely talented vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist. 

He has toured and performed with Christian McBride Big Band, Jon Batiste and Marquis Hill among others. Listed as a Top Five Jazz Artist to Watch by Ebony Magazine, Braxton has released six projects including his most recent album Who Are You When No One Is Watching
