Rick Braun fans, rejoice. The trumpeter is set to release his first solo studio CD since 2005’s ‘Yours Truly’. Due to hit store shelves and be available for download on July 28th, the new CD will be titled ‘All It Takes’.Most of the songs on the new recording find Braun artfully combining flugelhorn with muted trumpet. The perfect example of this approach is “Ever Changing World,” which has a bubbling electronic ambiance and soaring flugelhorn/muted trumpet melody over a booming electronic funk rock foundation.
Braun includes three equally seductive tracks that roll very much in the old school soul vein. One, ‘Freddie Was Here’ is a heartfelt tribute to one of Braun’s chief influences, the late great trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. ‘Freddie was an incredible genius on his instrument,’ says Braun, who met the legend several times. ‘There was no player who was ever as confident, creative or innovative. He took improvisation to a whole new level and I have always considered his album ‘First Light’ with George Benson and Hubert Laws to be the original urban jazz album.’
