"A Little Pain" - Bobby Bradford
Bobby Bradford was one of my first jazz instructors. I met him in 2004 at Pomona College, where he taught History of Jazz and directed the jazz ensemble. An active member of the Los Angeles jazz scene since 1953, Bradford lived the history of jazz, collaborating most notably with Ornette Coleman and John Carter. "A Little Pain" is my favorite of his compositions. Explaining the title, he told me, "Everything in life comes with a little pain, even the good parts." He personally associates this concept with all the unsung sidemen of jazz, specifically in tribute to John Carter.
