Description

Long-time veteran saxophonist James “Plunky” Branch explores sublime dimensions of creativity with Saxy Mellow Moments, an all-instrumental smooth jazz masterpiece crafted for candlelit nights, warm smiles, and tender touches. Created by special request from family, friends, and fans who desired a collection focusing on the softer side of Plunky & Oneness, this album showcases the poignant mellowness hidden within their twelve previous recordings.

From the dreamy opener “The Son Also Rises” to the meditative “The Open Door” and the closing “Mellow Celestial Blues,” each track flows seamlessly into the next, taking listeners deeper into the moment. While Plunky & Oneness have long been celebrated for their rhythmic diversity and progressive funk, Saxy Mellow Moments proves they’ve also mastered the art of subtle sophistication—holding each note for exactly the right amount of time, never giving too much or too little.

Order the CD and discover the intimate magic that happens when one of jazz-funk’s most remarkable visionaries turns down the tempo and lets his saxophone speak directly to the heart.
