WILLIE BRADLEY
• Going With The Flow
(Willie Bradley)
Bold, yet simultaneously charming; edgy, yet at the same time beautiful. These seemingly opposing adjectives might well describe the music of artist-trumpeter Willie Bradley, but also fittingly tell about the man! Bradley’s music brings together many varied styles, but takes smooth jazz to a whole new level. Check out his latest release, Going With The Flow. Look for Bradley’s new CD, It’s My Time, scheduled for release in early 2020. AvAilAble At: https://clgd.lnk.to/bEbZ0 Website: www.williebradley.net
