Braxton Cook is an Emmy Award Winning Artist and one of this generation’s most exciting emerging voices in the Jazz world. Not only does he exhibit world-class virtuosity on the alto saxophone but he is also a uniquely talented vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer whose sound blends Jazz, Soul, and Alternative R&B into a fresh new sound all his own.

In 2017, Fader Magazine named Braxton a “Jazz Marvel” and “Jazz Prodigy.” And shortly after, Braxton was listed as Top Five Jazz Artist To Watch (alongside Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Butcher Brown, and Kris Bowers) in the 2018 June Issue of Ebony Magazine.

Outside of the Jazz sphere, Braxton has worked alongside Rihanna at the 2016 VMAs and Solange Knowles; contracting the horn players involved in her live shows at the Guggenheim, Radio City Music Hall, Afro Punk Festival, Panorama Festival, and Made in America Festival. Most recently, Braxton was featured on Phony Ppl’s recent album Mosaic and performed with them for their NPR Tiny Desk performance. In addition, Braxton was featured on Tom Misch’s 2018 U.S. Domestic Tour which started with 2 performances at Coachella and culminated with a very special Tiny Desk performance.

In 2018, Braxton released his sophomore album entitled No Doubt (Independent) which debuted at #2 on iTunes Jazz Charts and amassed 6M streams on Spotify. Due to the albums success, he embarked on his first international headlining tour in November of 2018, performing at Tourcoing Jazz Festival, So What’s Next Jazz Festival and the legendary Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London, U.K. The following Spring of 2019, he performed for Quincy Jones at The Shed for Steve McQueen’s Soundtrack of America. In Summer of 2019, Braxton performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival and the Montreux Jazz Festival as well.

In Spring of 2020, Braxton released yet another project called Fire Sign (Independent) which had amassed over 1M steams in the first couple of weeks of its release. This record grabbed the attention of many national press outlets including NPR. Braxton then created his very own NPR Tiny Desk at home performance which featured music from his entire catalogue. Now relocated in Los Angeles, Braxton is very excited to continue expanding his musical concept, compositional and production skills as well as growing his community.
