Braggtown is an album released by The Branford Marsalis Quartet in 2006.
The album, following the 2004 Grammy®-nominated Eternal, draws upon a world of inspirations, including John Coltrane, an 17th Century English composer, an American Indian Warrior and a Japanese horror film. Marsalis chose some of the new songs from the band's current repertoire, with an emphasis on what he describes as "that kind of high-energy music we've been playing in live performance."
This album was named after Braggtown, a neighborhood located in the northeastern corner of Durham, North Carolina, as Marsalis has been a resident of the Durham area for the past few years.
