Braggtown
Braggtown is an album released by The Branford Marsalis Quartet in 2006.
The album, following the 2004 Grammy-nominated "Eternal", draws upon a world of inspirations, including John Coltrane, a 17th-century English composer, an American Indian Warrior and a Japanese horror film. Marsalis chose some of the new songs from the band's current repertoire, with an emphasis on what he describes as "that kind of high-energy music we've been playing in live performance."
