  • There is little one can say about a Bradley arrangement that has not been said. HE WAS ALWAYS OUT OF THIS WORLD.

    It is true only the good die young.Clive arrangements were simple and brilliant.

  • Simply AWESOME!!! Music would form a powerful backdrop of events that have followed since.  The subtext of this may be the "Clash Of Cultures".  Is there such a thing as a "limited strike?"  It may be Ben Lion today but You tomorrow.  A lot there, even MLK talking about the consequences of military aggression.   "Collective security..."

  • BOONNNN !!
  • I have to agree with Pan Times. I've always spoken about that freedom you hear, with Brads in New York. You also hear that freedom with all the bands he arranged for in Trinidad, with the exception of Desperadoes. I still say that 'Picture On My Wall" by Pantonic, is the sweetest panorama tune I've ever heard. That freedom comes from absolute respect by players and management, for genius........although they may not fully understand what the maestro is doing. One example of the total opposite was "Music In We Blood" by Desperadoes.
  • Massai, Bradley had complete freedom in New York.  There were no restrictions musically in New York. He was free of "Dinosaurs" has he called them.  The Pantonic players adored him. They were his children and they could play anything he wanted. Pantonic's management were not threaten by the Bradley spotlight. From a music standpoint New York is much more liberal in its tunes for panorama. The result is a Bradley you never saw in Trinidad.  Stranger, Darling, Celebrate, Ben Lion, Tell Me Why, Dingolay - known of the bands touch these tunes for panorama in Trinidad.
  • The most superlative arrangement of a TnT tune ever done.  The man Bradley IS a genius.  Notice I did not say "was".
  • This was one of the most unforgettable PANORAMA IN 2002.
