Say "French Horn" and most people think of the Blue Danube Waltz or an instrument that most of us avoided like the plague when we were in senior band, opting instead for the hipper sounds of the trumpet, bass or sax.
Alex Brofsky is not most. The native New Yorker has been a composer, arranger, producer and performer for most of his life. It would take a classically-trained musician like Brofsky, who embraces all forms of music, to put together the eclectic yet specific sound of AB+. His music is a finely blended collection of original songs including strong vocals with powerful arrangements that draw upon Brofsky's roots in classical music as well as his background in jazz and hip-hop.
The multi-talented Brofsky has performed and recorded with jazz and pop greats such as Lenny Kravitz, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, McCoy Tyner and Sonny Rollins.

Now that I am about to eat, O Great Spirit, Give my thanks to the beasts & birds whom You have provided for my hunger; and pray deliver my sorrow that living things must make a sacrifice for my comfort and well-being. Let the feather of corn spring up in its time and let it not wither but make full grains for the fires of our cooking pots, now that I am about to eat.
