Description:

Our Roots by Geof -Quintet- Bradfield, released 9 November 2015, includes the following tracks: "Yellow Gal", "Meshell", "Lead Belly", "Mbira Song" and more. This version of Our Roots comes as a 1xCD. -

For his latest quintet recording, Chicago saxophonist and composer Geof Bradfield borrows inspiration from fellow Chicagoan Clifford Jordan's 1965 Atlantic album, "These Are My Roots: The Music of Lead Belly." The focus is on Black music of the rural south - the spirituals and blues of itinerant Texas preacher Blind Willie Johnson, ring shouts from the Georgia Sea Islands, and the prison farm work songs of Lead Belly. The absence of a chordal instrument allows the ensemble to explore the open-ended nature of these folk forms. Bradfield is joined on "Our Roots" by four of the premier musicians on the Chicago scene: trumpeter Marquis Hill, trombonist Joel Adams, bassist Clark Sommers and drummer Dana Hall. o"Geo f Bradfield's writing is a revelation." - Neil Tesser

Recorded at StudioMedia, Evanston, IL, August 19-20, 2014
