Crazy People's Music was a great record by Branford. Might be my favorite...Bloomington was good too....I loved this band

Although he isn't as well known as his brother, I think, as a musician, Branford is more interesting and certainly more adventuresome. Two of my favorites are Trio Jeepy and the live performance of A Love Supreme.

I listened to Branford's A Love Supreme Live a couple of times this past week! It's a beautiful record. A lot of joy in that playing.

Yes, I thought Coltrane owned A Love Supreme, but Marsalis managed to do something all his own with the music. A great recording.

I concur- GEO.
BM had an excellent catalog, body of work. You would be hard-pressed to find a bad disc.
