We are always excited when the great Don Braden joins us on sax and flute. Don is a great composer, arranger and a very soulful and brilliant improviser. He also has a wonderful sound on both instruments and always lights up the bandstand. This will be Don’s fifth appearance at the workshop and we are really looking forward to it. We will be playing some of the music from his new CD entitled Earth, Wind and Wonder. http://www.donbraden.com/
