The Joe Brotherton Quartet debut album, Here to Hear, is finished! The record features Joe Brotherton (trumpet/vox), Obasi Akoto (bass), Colin Chambers (keys), and Tyler Leak (percussion), as well as special guests Elijah Easton and Elijah Jamal Balbed (tenor sax), and Flex Matthews (rhymes). Dani Corteza engineered the record, which the JB4 recorded at Intune Recording Studio in Adelphi, Maryland.
The official record release party will occur in early 2024 – check back for details.
Joe will launch a *spontfund campaign this fall to meet the demand for actual LPs to get printed. If you would like to donate, keep your eyes on this website and Joe’s social media for your chance to contribute to this upcoming project and be a part of DC jazz history!
