king ubu Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 BOBBY BRADFORD QUARTET featuring VINNY GOLIA EUROPEAN TOUR (January 29-February 8) BOBBY BRADFORD cornet VINNY GOLIA woodwinds BERNARD SANTACRUZ double bass CRISTIANO CALCAGNILE drums • Sunday, January 29:Parazzar (Brugge, BE) • Monday, January 30:La Malterie (Lille, FR) • Wednesday, February 1:Sunset (Paris, FR) – Discount available!! see below (20€ statt 28€ mit dem Code 20BB1 über die Website des Clubs) • Thursday, February 2:Bimhuis (Amsterdam, NL) • Friday, February 3:Musicus Concentus – Sala Vanni (Firenze, IT) • Saturday, February 4:Novara Jazz – Istituto Civico Musicale Brera (Novara, IT) • Sunday, February 5: Spezia Festival (Trevozzo, Piacenza, IT) • Tuesday, February 7:Centro d’Arte – Cinema Torresino (Padova, IT) • Wednesday, February 8:Porgy & Bess (Wien, AT) --- I plan to attend the concert in Novara, topping off a one-week trip that starts Sunday prior in Milan with Roscoe Mitchell ... I have seen Bradford in concert once so far, with the loud and intense Circulasione Totale Orchestra headed by Frode Gjerstad, and I'm a big fan of the live albums by Bradford/Gjerstad on Nessa and NoBusiness. With Circulasione, it was magic, all those (mostly) younger dudes standing in a semi circle, Bradford seated on a chair in their midst ... the music was *really* loud, two drummers on stage (Hamid Drake and Louis Moholo no less!), Sabir Mateen going ape-shit and all that ... but as soon as Bradford put his horn to his lip, his tone projected through all of it, seemingly effortless, with a singing clarity that really touched me. So yeah, I'm looking forward very, very much to hearing him live again! Quote
mjazzg Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Damn, Brexit strikes again. One day he'll come back. I've only seen him the once with the Gjerstad quartet - it was marvellous. Enjoy! Quote
king ubu Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Trip to Lille takes roughly 5 hrs by train ... about the same as it is to Novara for me Edited January 16, 2017 by king ubu Quote

Listed at The Outpost in Albuquerque for March 30. Wonder who the bass & drums will be. Just says Bradford / Golia quartet. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Wonder if Dave Wayne is available? Quote
OliverM Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 I'm going on Feb 1! (and also seeing Roscoe Mitchell sextet Flurin, have a good trip in Italy) Quote

OliverM Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 Concert page has disappeared on Sunset website, and checked a few other venues which have cancelled or changed to Vinny Golia trio. I suppose we won't be seeing Bobby Bradford, I hope he will be back soon! Quote
king ubu Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Posted January 30, 2017 Oh no! That is sad ... I'll be in Novara anyway, but I dont quite feel like going then. Hope Bradford is doing okay! This is from the Lille link above: Bobby Bradford ne pourra malheureusement venir en Europe pour des raisons de santé mais ses 3 partenaires maintiennent la tournée. Le concert aura donc bien lieu en trio avec Vinny Golia (sax), Bernard Santacruz (bass), Cristiano Calcagnile (drums). Quote
