“Bloom”

Read what people are saying about Cindy Bradley and her new cd,

“Bloom”…….

“Yes, oh yes! We’ve got a winner here, my friend. Horn diva Cindy
Bradley is incredibly stunning on her debut Trippin’ ‘N’ Rhythm release
BLOOM. She will be a Smooth Jazz star, guaranteed”…Scott O’Brien,
smoothjazz.com,

“What a fabulous sound that grabs you from the get go with the title
cut ”Bloom,” and Cindy Bradley on flugelhorn! I was groovin’ to the
full, fat sound of “Curves Ahead" with Cindy on trumpet and Freddie
Fox’s tasty guitars, and I’m lovin’ the sensitivity in “Before I Go”,
too. This lady is good, really good. I can’t wait to see her live in
concert”.....Diane Dayton, Cool Jazz Cafe

“Full of sultry rhythm and passion, this young lady adds a distinct
touch of silky-to-the-soul flair in such a manner as to make it
undoubtedly a part of her identity now and, hopefully, in the
future!”.....Art Good/Jazz Trax

“I love the track !”...Michael Tozzi, ijazzglobal.com

"This CD is freakin' amazing. There's not a stiff in the mix and there
are some tasty melodic uptempo trax for us hook-driven programmers…What
I Love is that there is not a single dud track on that CD. How rare is
that!” …Shannon West/ Smoothviews.com

“Rick Braun and Chris Botti may soon have some friendly female
competition in the house now that this vibrant, super-melodic, soulful
and sensual trumpeter/flugelhornist is breaking through on the urban
jazz scene. Her instantly likeable, star-studded debut mixes kick back
old school, ambience laced R&B, infectious and snazzy, horn section
spiced pop/funk and even a touch of blues and muted trumpet
jazz”…..Jonathan Widran, Jazziz, Wine and Jazz Magazine, Smoothjazznews

“This CD showcases Bradley as an extremely promising young talent who
isn't simply following in the footsteps of predecessors, but striking
out on some new paths of her own.

In this musical genre, a pretty face is no substitute for knowing how
to play. 2008 saw the emergence of exciting new jazz women such as
bassist Esperanza Spalding to widespread approval. 2009 may find Cindy
Bradley enjoying similar success”…..Jeff Winbush/Allaboutjazz.com.

“Trumpeters always have a tendency to be completely noticed or
unnoticed. In my view, the sound and phrasings either fit or they
don’t. Unlike the late inimitable Miles Davis, many are just ornaments
or decorations for an already erected base of sound, and some offer
little by way of mystique. Then, there are the Bottis, the Brauns---and
the Bradleys of the scene. They get it done. Bradley bolts from the
starting line in a blinding blaze and never lets up. You can taste,
feel, smell, hear, and see this stuff all in one fell swoop. It’s a
smooth jazz aficionado’s ideal image of smooth in the hands of a
properly played, properly phrased/massaged/caressed trumpet”…..Ronald
Jackson/Smoothvibes.com,

"Cindy Bradley is one awesome artist with a huge capacity to move and
groove. She has rare juice!"….Baldwin “Smitty” Smith/ Jazz Monthy.com
