"The cream always rises to the top. That might sound like a trite statement (and one definitely not applicable to pop music), but is one that consistently holds true in jazz. So it follows that guitarist Craig Brann, in a discipline in which one cannot fake it to make it, would then be the crème de la crème. Lineage, his fourth release as a leader, follows A Conversation Between Brothers (SteepleChase, 2016) and firmly established his place at the table of NYC jazz cats. "
Mark Corroto - All ABout Jazz
“Guitarist Craig Brann's blazing chops, rich tone, and stellar band immediately demand attention, as do his compositions; the new album features straight-ahead jazz, bop, and some blues, with each tune featuring intricate and thoughtfully composed heads that set up some very impressive extended solos. Fans of jazz guitar will undoubtedly love this show, and those less enthusiastic about guitar in a lead role might just find themselves swayed by Brann’s hornlike phrasing and improvisational flexibility.”
