About John Carter & Bobby Bradford Quartet
Two of the most important figures in the progressive jazz scene were multi-reedist John Carter and trumpeter/cornetist Bobby Bradford. Carter and Bradford began to audition rhythm section players in order to form an ensemble. The two recruited drummer Eldridge “Bruz” Freeman (brother of saxophonist Von and guitarist George Freeman from Chicago) and bassist Tom Williamson. The resulting group was named The New Art Jazz Ensemble. Producer Bob Thiele (Flying Dutchman label) advised Carter and Bradford to rethink the name of the ensemble. Up until this time, the quartet had been called the New Art Jazz Ensemble but the producer thought it best for promotion that the group should go under one or both of the horn players’ names. Both Carter and Bradford voiced an issue with the idea as they didn’t want to slight Freeman or Williamson but eventually acquiesced to Thiele. Thus the ensemble continued as John Carter & Bobby Bradford Quartet.
