Bradford Reed shared two songs with us: one completed a few days ago and another that was made 20 years ago. The newest track, called Cloud Trap is a meditation and a journey. It felt a bit like a dusty, simmering trek, circling thru the desert. We talked about the strange bass line sound underneath that no one could really pin down. Brad brought the second song because a few meetings ago, he was asked if he had ever composed anything with a trombone. This piece, called The Story of Snow, is for a small brass ensemble. The two songs are very different - 20 years apart. This brass piece is more formal and contained, with clear sonorous agreements. Bradford said that he enjoys playing much more than composing for other players - the notation can become tedious.
