Rick Braun
Chrome Showroom

Rick Braun brings three decades of contemporary jazz mastery to the intimate Chrome Showroom, celebrating a career that has shaped the smooth jazz landscape. The versatile trumpeter and flugelhornist performs material from his self-titled album—a bold artistic statement that he jokes comes fashionably late in his career. The evening showcases his signature blend of soulful, funky sounds with exotica influences, drawing from a catalog that includes over 20 #1 smooth jazz hits.

Beyond his solo work, Braun has left an indelible mark as a producer for genre legends like David Benoit and Marc Antoine, and through memorable collaborations including the powerhouse duo albums with Boney James and Richard Elliot, plus his work with the all-star trio BWB. This performance marks a fresh chapter for the artist, with new music released on his own independent label Brauntosoarus Music. The Chrome Showroom's cozy setting provides the perfect backdrop for experiencing Braun's sophisticated trumpet and flugelhorn work up close, where the nuances of his playing really shine through.
