Trumpeter and former Chicagoan Brad Goode returns this weekend to
his long-time home base, the famous Green Mill, to celebrate his
recently released CD on Delmark Records,
Hypnotic Suggestion. Brad’s quartet
will feature rising piano star from Toronto, Adrean
Farrugia. Don’t miss this rare chance to see Brad perform his
fantastic original compositions and unique takes on some classics back
in his former home town and favorite jazz club, the Green Mill,
4802 N. Broadway in Chicago’s Uptown. He will appear on Friday, November 17th starting
at 9 PM and Saturday, November 18th starting at 8 PM.
Brad Goode was born in Chicago in 1963 and classically trained on
violin from age 4. Brad switched to guitar and cornet at age 11. He
took an early interest in the music of Louis Armstrong, learning many
of his classic solos by age 13. Brad has studied trumpet with Cat
Anderson, Byron Baxter and Vincent DiMartino, and string bass
with Larry Gray and Donald Garrett. Brad earned his Bachelor degree in
Trumpet at the University of Kentucky, and his Masters degree in Bass
at DePaul University. He has been featured with the bands of Eddie
Harris, Ira Sullivan, Von Freeman, Curtis Fuller, Jack DeJohnette and
Red Rodney.
Goode led his own combo from 1986 until 1998, appearing at
major festivals and night clubs around the world, including a twelve-year weekly stint at the Green Mill. Mr.
Goode has served on the faculties of the American Conservatory of
Music, New Trier H.S., Cuyahoga Community College, the University of
Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and the University of
Colorado, where he is currently Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies. He
makes frequent appearances as a soloist and clinician at colleges and
high schools throughout the country. He has recorded for the Delmark,
Sunlight and SteepleChase labels. Brad also performs as a jazz bassist.
Toronto jazz pianist and teacher Adrean Farrugia has performed with
many of Canada's greatest jazz artists, including Rob McConnell, Moe
Koffman, Peter Appleyard, Renee Lee, Guido Basso, Jane Bunnett, Memo
Acevedo, etc. Adrean comes from a musical family - his father a
professional drummer in the Hamilton R&B scene, and grandfather a
respected east coast fiddler. Adrean began his jazz trajectory studying with Mark Eisenman and Brian Dickinson in the Mohawk College
Jazz Studies program, continuing his music education at the
University of Toronto Jazz Performance program with Gary
Williamson, Kevin Turcotte, and Phil Nimmons. Adrean was chosen to
attend the Banff Centre for the Arts' Summer Jazz Workshop where he
studied and performed with Don Thompson, Hugh Fraser, Kenny Wheeler,
Pat Labarbera, and Norma Winstone. He has also studied privately with
Cedar Walton, Geoff Keezer, Benny Green and Joanne Brackeen.
