North Philadelphia-born soul-jazz and hip-hop/funk innovator and trombone virtuoso, Jeff Bradshaw has been at the center of the Neo-soul movement that emerged out of Philadelphia. Becoming an important influencer of that eclectic scene, he has shared the stage and recorded with many artists including, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Jay Z, Mary J Blige, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Kirk Franklin, Tyler Perry, Floetry, Dave Chappelle, Common, Patti Labelle, Jill Scott, and many more. Like recent best-sellers by Robert Glasper, his two acclaimed solo albums have delivered a unique fusion of R&B, Jazz and Gospel. His warm and tantalizing sound and smooth yet gripping performances have changed the way people view the Trombone, and are what people enjoy most about this Philly Soul/Jazz Man!
With over four decades of recordings and sharing the concert stage with luminary figures of jazz music, multi-gold album, Billboard “Best Of” awards recipient and trumpeter Tom Browne continues to captivate listeners. Tom is perhaps best known for what music icon George Benson said of his “believability in any musical style; his ability to communicate!” This ability to emerse ones-self into the musical era, style and dreamscape of a composition, and then artistically create as though you are perfectly at home in that location, is a rarity among musicians. Tom has certainly worked with the industry’s best and brightest, having shared the concert stage with Bob James, Dave Grusin, Najee, Roy Ayers, Joe Sample, Melba Moore and a host of others.
