Brahm’s touch on the strings is spacious, never cluttered, but still always moving forward as he glides over the percolating pulses on “Madrid” and “Left You In The Desert.”

The group delivers the music in an organic, all acoustic setting. Venture Atlas is released on all platforms April 12th and live at the Blue Whale.
Guitarist Will Brahm has shown a versatility of his instrument that allows him to fit in with muscular big bands led by Gordon Goodwin and Elliot Deutsch as well as working the more supportive role with vocalists Jane Monheit, Sara Gazarek and Gretchen Parlato. His own recent album splits the difference, as his hour set delivering material from his recent album Venture Atlas amply displayed.
