Braden and his quartet will celebrate all ages of jazz starting with the great Jazz Age, as they perform the genre made popular in the 1920s next to the Museum’s 1921 fishing schooner. The saxophonist will be joined by Vincent Gardner on trombone, Joris Teepe on bass, Xavier Davis on keyboard and Cecil Brooks III on drums.

He has recorded on nearly 50 CDs as a sideman and has produced 13 CDs as a leader. Braden has also composed countless concerts and for a number of independent films and television including the CBS sitcom Cosby. He has worked as an adjunct professor at William Paterson University and was one of the recipients of the Doris Duke Foundation New Works composer's grant in 2000.
