Timeline

1934

Bobby Lee Bradford (born July 19, 1934) is an American jazz trumpeter, cornetist, bandleader, and composer.

In addition to his solo work, Bradford is noted for his work with John Carter, Vinny Golia and Ornette Coleman.

1946

Bobby Lee Bradford's life began in Mississippi; he and his family then moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1946.

1953

He moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1953 where he reunited with Ornette Coleman, whom he had previously known in Texas.

Bradford subsequently joined Coleman's ensemble, but was drafted into the U.S. Air Force and replaced by Don Cherry.

1954

After playing in military bands from late 1954 to late 1958, he rejoined Coleman's quartet from 1961 to 1963, which infrequently performed in public, but was indeed recorded under Coleman's Atlantic contract.

These tapes were among those many destroyed in the Great Atlantic Vault Fire.

Freddie Hubbard acted as Bradford's replacement upon his departure to return to the West Coast and pursue further studies.

Bradford soon began a long-running and relatively well-documented association with the clarinetist John Carter, a pairing that brought both increased exposure at international festivals (though the records remain scantily available, when one excludes web rips and bootlegs).

1970

In addition to Coleman, Bradford has performed with Eric Dolphy, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, Ingebrigt Håker-Flaten, Bob Stewart, Charlie Haden, George Lewis (trombone), James Newton, Frode Gjerstad, Vinny Golia, Paal Nilssen-Love, and David Murray, who was previously a student of his in the 1970s.

He was a lecturer at Pomona College in Claremont, California, where he taught the history of jazz and led the school's jazz ensemble.

After 44 years at the college, he retired in June 2021.
