KMHD Best Jazz Singles of 2020 “Falling Sky”

“Portlanders, meet BrandonLee Cierley, the PNW saxophonist merging jazz and hip-hop unapologetically and one of the local artists we most hope to be listening to lots more from in 2021. “Here Comes A New Challenger,” his first full-length, gathers collaborators like Machado Mijiga and KMHD’s own Farnell Newton (host of “LofiJazzSoul” on-air Monday nights) around crisp boom-bap drums and effortlessly adventurous soloing. This single is just one slice of a feel-good album we bumped all summer — without a doubt, Cierley’s one to watch.” -Isabel Zacharias
