Vigilance Brandon

Vigilance is an adept musician with a broad-ranging skill set. He has a great sense of melody and phrase, as well as an acute ear for complex harmony. As a player, his musicianship is well-founded in fundamentals yet his musicality remains experimental and fresh. As a person, his warm demeanor and artistic experience make him a reliable leader. I would recommend Vigilance to anyone seeking a high caliber trumpet player.

I’ve sought out Vigilance Brandon’s skills as a recording musician and performing artist for nearly six years. He is versatile and emotive on his instrument, capable of making music come alive, whether it be jazz, RnB, rock, or Latin feels. He’s a gifted collaborator, willing to follow an artistic vision to the letter, but also ready to draw upon his wide berth of musical knowledge to contribute creative ideas. I would enthusiastically recommend Vigilance to anyone looking for an innovative perspective and musical offering on their project.

Vigilance was a composer on an animated short film I produced. He consistently surprised us with his acumen for numerous instruments and his ability to seamlessly improvise with the other musicians. The score was recorded live over the film and largely improvised and Vigilance, on trumpet, brought new, impressive ideas to the table with each take.
