"AB+ - THE UNENTITLED"
A MUSICAL CONCEPT CD THAT EMBRACES
THE UNLIKELY --
JAZZ, CLASSICAL AND HIP-HOP
UNDER ONE MELODIOUS ROOF

Say "French Horn" and most people think of the Blue Danube Waltz or an instrument that most of us avoided like the plague when we were in senior band, opting instead for the hipper sounds of the trumpet, bass or sax.

However, Alex Brofsky is not most people. The native New Yorker has been a composer, arranger, producer and performer for most of his adult life.

It would take a classically-trained musician like Brofsky, who embraces all forms of music, to put together the eclectic "AB+ - the unentitled." The music in this finely blended collection of original songs include strong vocals with powerful arrangements that draw upon Brofsky's roots in classical music as well as his background in jazz and hip-hop.

Especially striking are "$tar War$$," "Say It" and "Honey Joint," which showcase the singing and rhyming talents of Rita Hage-Boutros and Don Q, along with Brofksy's own exceptional french horn skills. Also exceptional is "Faith", a striking ballad.

The multi-talented Brofsky has performed and recorded with jazz and pop greats such as Lenny Kravitz, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, McCoy Tyner and Sonny Rollins. He has done remixes for hip-hop superstars such as Da' Brat and Mary J. Blige. His song $tar War$$ was #1 on the MP3.com hip hop charts for over a month, ahead of such names as Dr Dre, Master P, and Q-Tip, and he has had two #1 Acid Jazz songs on MP3.com as well (Say it and Honey Joint).

An abbreviated version of "AB+ - the unentitled" up to this time has been available through MP3.Com and is selling throughout the United States and abroad in Switzerland, Egypt, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Japan, Mexico and France. The full album is now available at CD Baby.
