Rick Braun's “All It Takes” is a vivid jazz album full of beautiful music performed by an amazing trumpeter and performer. This album is not only for adults, but also for the younger generation that will soon enough appreciate contemporary jazz. The sweet melody of “Christiane” puts your mind at ease while Braun plays his trumpet solo. The music is captivating and you may decide to create your own lyrics to the music or whistle to it. Nevertheless, listening to “Christiane” will let you get involved with the beat. “She’s the One” is upbeat with an emphasis on the trumpets. The music has a little salsa influence where you can slow dance with a partner. The trumpets and percussions make the song relaxing. This track is absolutely pure bliss. “Sleeveless in Seattle” is fresh and original with handclap sounds throughout. Of course the wonderful trumpets are included in this track. Braun commands your attention when listening to this memorable song and you are more than glad to stay alert. Rick Braun is a gifted jazz musician and great trumpeter. “All It Takes” is a classic album that welcomes the hearts and souls of all who enjoy the wonderful music of jazz.
