[Bradley M. Stone]

Aloha Jae,

I just checked it out yesterday, while driving to Santa Cruz - was diggin' this big-time and I am in wholehearted agreement with you.  Seriously blowin', yet compelling melodies...I can't wait to find room on my playlist for this one!

The light is on,

Brad

Has anyone checked out "Green Factor?" If not, you should. Ada is Randy Brecker's wife and plays saxophone. My first reaction was whoa! Fantastic writing and playing that will raise your eyebrows. Uniquely structured compositions with fresh textures. I hear the brother's influence on her playing and writing but she goes beyond that and shapes things to her realm. A pleasant surprise indeed. 

I concur Bobby...the "Full View" release is very good.
