Because he is based in Chicago, Brad Goode has been underpublicized, but in reality he is a great bebop trumpeter. On this set, he is teamed with a top-notch Chicago rhythm section led by the underrated pianist Jodie Christian, and the very talented Ira Sullivan, who doubles on soprano and muted trumpet.

Cleveland-based trumpeter Brad Goode has the same melodic predilections as bop masters Fats Navarro and Clifford Brown. This comes through in this set of standards.
