A melodic writer, Brunel creates memorable melodic overtones with modal changes that transcends most recordings from the fusion genre. As complex as his music is, you walk away humming his melodies. But you are cheating yourself if you haven’t seen him perform. Experiencing him in concert is transformative. Nothing compares to drinking in a performance by this masterful bass sorcerer!
