This is my favorite Bradley compositions. This piece of music is refreshing, and when you get into it it puts you in a good place. The only other Bradley arrangement that comes close is SAILING. Having played under this wizard for two years I can say he was great.RIP

[@cpjlimited]

This was the best way to get even with the judges that year and Clive did his job with more aggression than you find in his other Panorama music. The orchestration has freshness, variety and surprise. The different sections have forceful clarity. This is an incredibly effective use of the steelband as a big band, which is how he said he viewed it. His stunning legacy is a result of his firm grasp of how to arrange for a big band.

[@darielsmith2384]

Watch his Smile all u see is love and music truly an angle of the mosthigh if you heard clive speak and relate to people still crying Clive love u sam

[@renmark1412]

Every time I listen to this I drift away to music heaven.

[@lionhearted32]

A true master. To take a simply tune like that and arrange it is astounding. I loved it from the first time I heard it when they practiced for the panorama that year

[@kuskut]

Masterpiece!!!!

[@anthonycameron4114]

this is the piece that convince me Bradley is the greatest and will remain the greatest pan arranger ever live. rip sir.

[@AGB_HDV]

Composer...

[@judyaustin9780]

I remember Mr Bradley as a child, a brilliant individual, he was a teacher, a self taught musician. He had a special gift.

[@foreignsweetness]

I couldn't actually see the video, I heard the audio for this particular piece and they sound great !!!!!!!!!!

[@kelvinlyder4408]

GREAT PAN SONG WELL DONE CLIVE BRADLY

[@rapope22]

[@clairecharles636]

claire charles ah love this arrangement the different changes remind me of listening to a symphony piece Bradley is the Bach of steel band music

[@marcusash333]

Gosh this arrangement is epic. My great uncle Tash plays with Desperadoes and is the longest living member of the band on Double Seconds.

[@omarmuhammad7313]

Sweet pan I have to give it to desperadoes even though I'm a catelli man from Nelson. St

[@vicmatthias4515]

+Omar Muhammad OH yeah, love it, form Belmont, Amboys

[@jeffmedina8839]

[@ChosenPC123]

This is a magnificent rendition of this calypso by our great arranger may he rip. i think it could have been a little slower though.

[@carphill1]

vintage despers sweet music

[@sheilaalexander5699]

❤

[@omarmuhammad7313]

Party tonight a diamond in the rough from the hills of laventille

[@djpanrasdaversiteoldschool8912]

1:44 & de bass minor.. that is all i have to say #Chills

[@shanemarchan658]

+DJ Pan Ras yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!! e.e

[@kelvingill7758]

beautiful music

[@SuperSnk1]

I believe that our Steel Band Arrangers are the Best world wide and Clive has to be ranked amongst the Best . I do not think that there is any other competition where the Arranger has to come up with so many different ideas and fuse them into a 10 minute performance to please the Judges and the Patrons. This is no easy Job and so these Arrangers who do this every year must be commended. The track record of Mr. Bradley and Despers is so impressive that the Title "Genius" is applicable to him.

[@amabelfon2044]

Real peeping today ...

[@MrCrix29]

I love this song although I didnt play

[@wortley.caruth8126]

@bardapple the panorama performance went down much faster than this one. they hit the nail on the head with the tempo in this (festival) performance.

[@brianfindley2863]

[@michaelpierre8020]

I would love to use this on some great Bose Speakers with full electronic equipment. I'll eat them alive on the Parkway. Just an idea.

[@marquisgittens3223]

You can hear the tonal quality of the tenors similar to BWIA Sunjets.

[@stephendillon5302]

BWIA Sunjets was one of the best. 🎉

[@amrayabaptiste2933]

Is this gentleman Clive Bradley?

[@cttomkin]
