Beauty Within

TOP 5 for 2016 Beauty Within, itself a strong contender for my choice of 'album of the year', is another marvelous offering from Dr. Anthony Branker, the most eloquent, socially conscious, interesting and challenging composer/arranger on the scene today, in my humble estimation. This album aptly named for what it is is a work of beauty. In Imagine, Dr. Branker has assembled an upper echelon staff of musicians to give loquacious musical expression to the passionate content and concepts of Beauty Within: Ralph Bowen, Fabian Almazan, Linda Oh, Rudy Royston and Pete McCann.
