Search - Brad Goode :: Hypnotic Suggestion

Jazz trumpeter Brad Goode relocated to Colorado but maintains his strong Chicago ties by performing here once or twice a year. He was an important figure in Chicago, leading the house band at The Green Mill for a dozen years, and made a number of appearances at The Jazz Showcase with Joe Henderson, Eddie Harris, Lee Konitz, James Moody, Red Rodney and Ira Sullivan. Goode is pleased with the results of this session, which, due to a scheduling glitch, wound up only taking two and one half hours in the recording studio. That helped add spontaneity, a live feeling, to the proceedings. He was particularly interested here in "working with elements of abstraction within standard forms."
