Brad Walker and Extended are proud to announce the release of their new record ‘Side by Side’, recorded at Esplanade Studios in January of 2021. It is the culmination of an ongoing collaboration between two of the most compelling forces on the New Orleans
creative music scene: Walker, with a decade of award-nominated and nationally-reviewed records, and Extended, which features three of the leading lights of the jazz scene in New Orleans: Oscar Rossignoli (piano), Matt Booth (bass), and Brad Webb (drums).
