Over his 20 albums and four decade career, Brad Goode has displayed a wildly adventurous musical aesthetic to go along with his singular virtuosic voice on trumpet. With The Snake Charmer, Goode now brings those qualities into this debut of his big band. First featuring his polytonal system of harmony on his 2008 release, Polytonal Dance Party, Goode has only expanded on it in the albums since, with this big band representing its concept and possibilities at a most vivid and dynamic level. With his inspired band of Denver-area colleagues up to the task, Goode creates a soundscape that revels in the joy of present, past, and future.
