Poinciana (Nick Brignola album)

Poinciana is an album by baritone saxophonist Nick Brignola which was recorded in 1997 and released on the Reservoir label.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Mark Romano said "these are the best renderings of a true baritone sax artist.

The title cut on this album is worth the price of admission alone ... unforgettable and to be reckoned with.

There's hard bop and swing here, too ... Brignola had an uncanny ability to combine his muscular phrasing with a supreme sensitivity.

[3] In JazzTimes, Sid Gribetz noted "Brignola plays with staggering virility and facile expertise on the sometimes cumbersome bari, and he produces a sound that is silky smooth and possessed of honest emotion".
