Braun, Whalum, Brown, better known as BWB, spotlights three of the most distinct stylists in contemporary jazz today: trumpeter Rick Braun, saxophonist Kirk Whalum and guitarist Norman Brown. Each a musical force in his own right, they team up to give a new spin to well-known Michael Jackson tunes. The release harks back to BWBs debut album, GROOVIN, which combined a great 70s session vibe with classic covers and funky grooves. Look for Braun, Whalum, Brown to tour this summer.
B.W.B.'s sophomore album, 2013's Human Nature, features the smooth jazz supergroup's reworkings of songs by the late Michael Jackson. Once again showcasing the talents of guitarist Norman Brown, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, and trumpeter Rick Braun, B.W.B. lay down such Jackson favorites as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "She's Out of My Life," "Man in the Mirror," and others. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
