Brandon Ross Phantom Station

BRANDON ROSS is a New York City-based, guitarist/composer/singer/songwriter. His work

with innovators in modern Black music: Henry Threadgill, Cassandra Wilson, Lawrence

D."Butch" Morris, HARRIET TUBMAN, Leroy Jenkins, Oliver Lake and many others is

legendary - “Ross is the epitome of the postmodern guitar hero, a fretboard virtuoso who

adheres to no particular sound or genre, moving freely from the feedback-laden assault of

the adventurous jazz-rock trio Harriet Tubman and the electronics-heavy jumble of

Phantom Station to the delicate beauty of the acoustic chamber duo For Living Lovers in

which he also plays banjo.” - JAZZ TIMES MAGAZINE

“... (Brandon) Ross is a one-man atmosphere factory, availing himself of all the

sounds—cries, squeaks, cracks, fuzz, whispers, organ-like echoes—that an

electric guitar, in the hands of a master, can produce.” - PARIS REVIEW

“... Brandon Ross Phantom Station - is an exercise of patience and precision, the

feeling of sound converging and disassembling, teetering on the verge of collapse.

But it never does; in fact, it all hangs together quite masterfully, as if suspended in

air, its imperfections left to shine with the gorgeous parts. It’s the type of music you

can’t fully comprehend or turn completely away from.” – Marcus J. Moore, ACTIVE
