Bounce CD Review ~ JazzReview.com
By Sheldon T. Nunn.  Saxophonist Tom Braxton has been a mainstay in bassist Wayman Tisdale’s band for many years.  During Tom’s tenure with Wayman, he has recorded five albums and has established himself as one of smooth jazz’s most prolific saxophonists.  His latest CD entitled Bounce is a highly stylized display of upbeat funk and augmented by glowing cerebral melodies.  With this CD, Tom is making his debut on the Rendezvous Record Label, as he walks smooth jazz aficionados through 12 tracks of ear-catching music.  In fact, this newest release continues a patented formula of success that has been finely tuned and homogenized in a genre that is often very competitive.  Full Review >>
