Brandon Wright, Journeyman

“The wisdom of the journeyman is to work one day at a time,” begins the Cormac McCarthy quote that graces the inside cover of Brandon Wright’s new album, Journeyman. On his second release as a leader, the 30-year-old tenor saxophonist offers the fruits of his own journeyman days, a personal sound and beyond-his-years hard bop feel forged gig by gig alongside greats like Chuck Mangione, Doc Severinsen, and Fred Wesley.

Wright himself defines a journeyman as “someone who has learned a craft, finished his apprenticeship, and is now out there refining his trade so that one day he, too, can become a jazz master.”
