wildly adventurous trumpet jazz Brad Goode – Polytonal Big Band The Snake Charmer

wildly adventurous trumpet jazz Brad Goode – POLYTONAL BIG BAND THE SNAKE CHARMER:  This recently released (17 January, 2025) album from Brad is truly one of the most wildly adventurous trumpet jazz releases you will ever hear… here’s a LIVE video/recording of the 8:04 “Just A Thought” to give you an idea of just how adventurous and creative Brad and his bandmates are…

You’ll be pleased to find nearly 200 other videos when you visit and SUBSCRIBE to Brad’s channel, too… I signed up right away.

I was especially impressed with Brad’s original composition “Pentacles“… though it’s only 3:52, the penetrating pulse he creates with his horn and his players (the list is far too long to itemize here, but you can check it out on the ORIGIN portal) is an absolutely stellar sonic experience!

My choice for personal favorite of the eight exciting tunes offered up is another original from Brad… the 6:50 “Hypnotic Suggestion” will grab your ears – and won’t let go… I found myself spinning this track over and over again; and I’ve no doubt you will, too.

This superb release got a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating from me, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 4.98.  Get more information and listen to all of the tracks on Brad’s Spotify page for the release (below)…
