Rick Braun brings his smooth trumpet and flugelhorn work to the intimate confines of Myron's Cabaret Jazz, a room built for exactly this kind of close, warm musical experience. Braun has spent decades carving out a signature sound that's kept him a mainstay on contemporary jazz radio, and his résumé reads like a who's-who of the genre—he's produced chart-topping tracks for David Benoit, Marc Antoine, and Jeff Golub, and found collaborative magic with artists like Boney James. As part of the trio BWB alongside Grammy winners Kirk Whalum and Norman Brown, and in his work with saxophonist Richard Elliot as RnR, Braun has helped shape the sound of modern jazz fusion for years.
At Myron's, with its round tables, mezzanine balcony, and views over Symphony Park, the setting feels less like a concert hall and more like a private session where every note lands close and clear. It's the kind of venue where Braun's melodic phrasing and laid-back grooves can really breathe, giving the audience a chance to catch the subtle interplay between musicians that bigger stages sometimes swallow up.
