the good thing with covid was to have these guys locked in and starting to talk together on video. Thank you so much for sharing. Brandford is one of my jazz hero and listening to him is always captivating. A amazing musician and person. Thanks C McBride for sharing.

In the early days Branford played support for Sting then in no time at all Sting ended up playing for Branford!, - such is the phenomenal talent he has where it was Branford who brought the spark to Sting’s 1985 tour and made those songs immortal. Children’s Cruisade being just one example.

I agree. Sting used jazz musicians who had left Wynton's band. It was the best band he ever had. The music produced was awesome! Check out Sting's movie with the jazz musicians.
