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 LISTENING
