SCCD 31847 Craig Brann “Lineage”
Since his arrival in NYC in 1996 guitarist Craig Brann has quietly and steadily established himself as one of the elite players of his generation. In this new release, his fourth album on SteepleChase, Craig unfolds his expansive musical dimension.
“There’s something for everyone here – and that’s just a way of describing New York guitarist Brann’s versatility. With invention and wit, he remodels the classic guitar trio to suit multi-sourced inspiration … It’s a veritable treasure shed of homage, freewheeling and compositional flair.” (Nigel Jarrett – Jazz Journal on SCCD 31814 Conversation between Brothers)
“A Beautiful album from guitarist Craig Brann – and maybe the first to really display all the richness of his talents!” (Dusted Groove on SCCD 31814)
“Brann is an enormous guitar talent … this is his second album and will not be the last.” (Henrik W. Iversen – JazzSpecial on SCCD 31718 Mark My Words)
