In a world of shortcuts where the bar keeps getting set lower and lower, Ayo Brame stands on the shoulders of giants, promising to elevate the art form to new heights. It takes a special kind of courage for a young man to take the hard path, knowing it’s the only one that leads to mastery. Audiences can witness Ayo Brame explore traditional forms of Jazz as the 16-year-old saxophonist dives into standards with unexpected fluidity and realize they’re experiencing something truly rare: a young artist on the road to greatness.
