Jazz Saxophone. I guess it depends on what I'm feeling on that particular day.
A saxophonist and composer from Woodcliff Lake, NJ, Brandon Wright found ambition early in his development. Exploring every opportunity to further his artistic growth, Brandon attended “Jazz For Teens”, a workshop directed by renowned bassist Rufus Reid, and has since been diligently pursuing a career in music. Wright went on to attend the University of Michigan and the University of Miami, earning four Downbeat Student Music Awards including Best College Jazz Group, Outstanding Jazz Soloist, and Outstanding Blues/Rock/Pop Soloist. He also won the 2004 North American Saxophone Alliance Jazz Competition, was selected for the 2005 Henry Mancini Institute and won Gordon Goodwin's "Big Phat Jam" in 2007.
Since his Miami days, Brandon has toured Japan with the Gregg Field Orchestra (Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival 2005), played with the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra as well as the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra, the Mingus Big Band, Mingus Dynasty, Mingus Orchestra, the Chico O’Farill Latin Big Band, and the John Fedchock New York Big Band. In the winter of 2007, Brandon went on tour with famed Tonight Show bandleader, Doc Severinsen. He is also a member of the newly formed Klezmer/Funk/Hip-Hop band “Abraham Inc.” which is co-lead by clarinetist David Krakhauer, Socalled, and funk trombone legend Fred Wesley. When not working as a sideman, Brandon leads his own quartet around the New York City area. The band has already made appearances at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, The Kitano Hotel, Smalls Jazz Club, Trumpets, and Kennedy Center in Washington DC. His versatility as a soloist and tasty compositions make this 27 year old saxophonist one to watch out for.

Hallo People! I believe that music can unite people from the most remote corners of our planet. I would like to offer to create live music via Internet together. You can record your instrument via computer and send this record to me via Internet so I can play together with you. Also, together we can find the other musicians for our music created and played together. We can understand each other with the help of our music and send our messages to the whole world!
honestly, i dont care for jeff coffin with dmb. i heard him last tour with dmb and well...i like the flecktones but his whiny-ness (i dont know if im explaining this right lol) doesnt flow well with the rest of the dmb. i guess after listening to roi for so long...its just not quite right yet. its different...
