In his 75th year, the amazing Bobby Bradford -- who besides his partner in crime Ornette Coleman is the last original link to the birth of free jazz in Los Angeles -- is interviewed by All About Jazz's Clifford Allen. Read the profile here.

Coinciding with this renewed attention is the 2-CD re-release of Bobby Bradford with John Stevens and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Bradford's meeting of minds with a group of British improvisers [pictured below]. Check out reviews of the CD from Squid's Ear and All About Jazz,
