Bobby Bradford & the Mo'tet, Live at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Water Boy Records) // O veterano Bobby Bradford na companhia de improvisadores de Los Angeles. Bobby Bradford (trompete); Roberto Miranda (contrabaixo); William Jeffrey (bateria); Chuck Manning (saxofone tenor); Don Preston (piano); Michael Vlatkovich (trombone); Ken Rosser (guitarra).
Bradford's name gracing any recording, and especially one where he gets top billing, is going to attract most discerning jazz lovers. Add a couple notable names from the West Coast creative music scene, including pianist Don Preston and trombonist Michael Vlatkovich, and you have music that’s, well, worth documenting...(it's) an old-fashioned jam session...for the most part each musician speaks volumes. The diversity of styles at once heightens the jam atmosphere and assures a certain amount of interest. Bradford himself sounds like a wizened and wise hard bopper on the opener “Crooked Blues” and the swinger “Sideman”. He flashes his avant chops on “A Little Pain”, speeding up his lines into long blistering skyrockets. - David Dupont, One Final Note
