🗣️"‘Zodiac’ started as a demo that I wrote back in 2020 off the heels of my album Fire Sign, which had a strong astrological theme. The title is also inspired by the prolific jazz pianist, Mary Lou Williams’s Zodiac Suite. I brought the demo to the recording session where we listened to it and learned the harmony and melody then made it our own."
— Braxton Cook.
Braxton Cook comes to the Mondavi Center on February 8, presented in partnership with the Future Foundation of Sacramento Future Foundation of Sacramento. Tickets available at mondaviarts.org
