His brother, Wynton, really messed up. If you remember it was Wynton and his band that were originally on The Tonight show when Jay Leno took over. After a month or two Wynton quit because he didn't like the format of playing every night on TV. That's when Branford took over as the band leader and stayed with Leno for the entire run with Jay Leno. I honestly think he expected the entire band to walk out with him. But they didn't. After that Branford became famous (and rich) while Wynton faded into the background.
