About Braxton Cook

Braxton Cook (born March 27, 1991 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an Emmy Award Winning Artist and one of this generation’s most exciting emerging voices in the Jazz world. Not only does he exhibit world-class virtuosity on the alto saxophone but he is also a uniquely talented vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer whose sound blends Jazz, Soul, and Alternative R&B into a fresh new sound all his own.

Braxton grew up in Greenbelt, MD and after several moves up and down the east coast his family settled in Silver Spring, Maryland. There, Braxton attended Springbrook High School and studied saxophone under the tutelage of world-class educator Paul Carr. After graduating from Springbrook High School (Silver Spring, MD) in 2009, Braxton attended Georgetown University and studied English with a concentration in African American Studies. In his free time, Braxton worked regularly in the D.C. Jazz scene on the historic U Street strip of Jazz clubs. By age 18, Braxton had already made quite a name for himself in the D.C., by leading his own band at Bohemian Caverns, HR-57, Twins Jazz and many other venues throughout the D.C. area.
