New York City native jazz saxophonist Jack Brandfield, who is ready to release his debut studio album “I’ll Never Be The Same” in April. On this recording, Jack is joined by guitarist Randy Napoleon and bassist Rodney Whitaker to make the perfect soundtrack for a nighttime escape. Jack begins his new twelve-track release with “Nobody Else But Me,” as each member gets their moment in the spotlight. The album feels so intimate that you feel every pluck of the strings and every breath flowing through the sax on songs like “Vignette” and “Lover Come Back To Me.” The delicate touch that Jack and his band give the Antonio Carlos Jobim classic “Andorinha,” shows the respect they have for the music that has come before them. They also give an elegant touch to Duke Ellington’s “Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me,” before finishing with the Latin swing of “Bossa Nova Ova” and the fun, upbeat tempo of “Wildwood.” To find out more about Jack Brandfield and his latest release “I’ll Never Be The Same.”
