I heard a track from Branford's new CD, Eternal, last night driving home from work, and set out bright and early this morning to fetch the disc. On the whole, Eternal is a very romantic and seductive offering. The reason I bought the CD was Dinner For One Please, James, a ridiculously gorgeous sax ballad enhanced by some great piano work. I like that tune enough to make the purchase of the CD worthwhile, but I also like the much more upbeat opener, The Ruby and the Pearl. Branford says of this CD, " All of the songs reflect the idea that there is beauty in sadness.." While I believe that is certainly true, I don't find the CD sad at all, it is more of a wistful feeling...
