Branford Festival Ends for Year With a Huge Crowd Thursday Night

BRANFORD, CT - The 2018 Branford Jazz series on the Green came to an end Thursday night with a big crowd having a great time listening to an award winning saxophonist and his band.

Saxophonist Elan Trotman has quickly become one of jazz’s most thrilling and emotive performers as he continues to stand out and push boundaries as a composer, performer, teacher and recording artist.

On Thursday night he thrilled the large crowd at the Branford Green.

Trotman’s playing, though inspired by Grover Washington, Jr., Kirk Whalum and Najee, displays his own fresh ideas and distinctive tone. So much so that the New England Urban Music Awards, and The Barbados Music Awards both named him Jazz Artist of The Year on multiple occasions.

Elan and his band Tropicality brought a rousing end to the 10th annual Branford Jazz series.
