Intervention Records is thrilled to announce it's first jazz release, Bobby Bradford and his CuZns' Freddie Ain't Ready.Freddie Ain't Ready is about identity. It is about discovering, developing, and embracing who you are. That is an act that makes us examine if we are indeed who we thought ourselves to be, and where does this leave us? Does a glimpse of the truth set us free?Freddie was recorded live-to-two-track analog at Hollywood's legendary EastWest (formerly Western) Studios by Steve Genewick and Joe Harley. Custom Flux Magnetics head stacks were used, with no editing, limiting, or compression. Just the highest resolution delivery possible of live sound to your home. Mastering and lacquers are cut by Kevin Gray at CoHEARent Audio, and boutique press RTI delivers dead quiet 180G vinyl. No expense was spared, and laborious attention to detail ensured that the listener is transported into the studio and the creative experience.Bobby Bradford is one of America's Jazz greats and an institution within the greater Los Angeles jazz and improvised music community. He hails from Mississippi and Texas, where he developed both his appreciable skills and unique voice on trumpet and cornet. He moved to Los Angeles in 1953 where he reunited with Ornette Coleman (whom he had previously known in Texas). He subsequently joined Coleman's ensemble until he was drafted into the Air Force and replaced by Don Cherry.He rejoined Coleman's quartet from 1961 to 1963, before moving back to Los Angeles where he began a long-running and well-documented association with the clarinetist John Carter. In addition, he performed with myriad ensembles and on recording dates with Eric Dolphy, Glenn Horiuchi, George Lewis, Charlie Haden, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Bob Stewart, James Newton, Frode Gjerstad, Vinny Golia, Paal Nilssen-Love, Francis Wong, and David Murray. He also has a long association with his Mo'tet ensemble and CuZns (with William Roper). His discography is extensive and includes classics such as Ornette Coleman's 'Science Fiction' and 'Broken Shadows.' Additionally, he holds a B.M. from Huston-Tillotson University (Austin, Texas), and was a jazz educator of note at Pomona College (Claremont, California) for 44 years. Bobby is currently 90 years of age and is still performing and smokin' on his cornet.
