Purple Gums - Bobby Bradford, Francis Wong, William Roper - Mo' Betta Butta CD, Album. Asian Improv Records. AIR 0072. BOBBY BRADFORD is a post bop avant-garde jazz music artist. How can one also adequately offer a testament for an artist who is such a high quality human being and who profoundly touches so many lives Those of us who have been blessed to know Bobby Bradford for a number of years can. Wong plays a blues tenor while Bradford and Roper improvise short bursts. Bradford plays some reveille variations with Roper, then Wong and Bradford get back to their soul riff. You a Square features Roper trying to give a friend a clue. Wong on flute works with Bradford, and when Roper joins, they play funny little pizzicato variations.
