Soul Stream
''Soul Stream'' is the second album by American saxophonist George Braith recorded in 1963 and released on the Blue Note Records, Blue Note label.Blue Note Records discography accessed November 16, 2010 Reception The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars and stated "''Soul Stream'' finds George Braith coming into his own. Where his debut felt hampered by uneven material and unsure execution of Braith's trademark double-sax attack, ''Soul Stream'' is confident and assured... Unfortunately, Braith never truly cuts loose, but there's enough provocative material and cerebral grooves on ''Soul Stream'' to make it a worthwhile listen".Erlewine, S. T.

Braith is featured in a mosaic in the 72nd street station of the Second Avenue Subway in the New York City Subway system. Of Braith's album ''Musart'' Thom Jurek at AllMusic wrote, "Musart is his masterpiece; it is one of the most diverse yet refined albums to come out of the '60s, and has few peers even today."
