Performer, educator, and creator Anthony Bruno has dedicated his life to music. Born into a musical family, playing music has been a trademark of his existence. After releasing a series of singles over the last couple of years, Anthony Bruno recorded his first full-length album of all original electric quartet music in the Summer of 2022 and is set to release it in the Spring of 2023. All of his music can be found on any streaming platform.
Believing creativity and connection are the essence of music performance, he competently brings pop sensibilities to the concept of improvised music in both his composition and performance.
Rooted in jazz but drawn to R&B, his career as an in-demand saxophonist includes performing with artists such as Wynton Marsalis, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Larry Carlton (Steely Dan), Bobby Watson, Jeff Hamilton, Joel Ross, Gerald Clayton, Sean Jones, Bobby Broom (Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins) and Mary Wilson.
Life events inspire the best-recorded music and living through a pandemic, falling out of love, back in love, and out again all resulted in the making of the record, “Anthony Bruno.” Writing a series of original songs as the soundtrack to his life was a cathartic process needed to move forward through heartbreak, sadness, and depression.
This self-titled recording encapsulates a time in the artist’s life when creative output was his survival mechanism. This album was recorded with an ensemble of world-class musicians- Julius Tucker on keys, Andrew Vogt on bass, and James Russell Sims on drums. Recorded in Chicago’s Palisade Studios, this album blends jazz, R&B, pop, and hip-hop and redefines the possibilities of contemporary instrumental improvised music.
The street date release is April 14th. For further information, visit the following links:
