Bradley revisits his roots on his second solo recording, his alto flute backed by a Hammond B-3 organ trio. Combining the smooth classic Hammond B-3 sound with the deeper, warm and mellow sonority of the alto flute, Bradley and his collaborators sail through a collection of originals and standards freshly arranged by Allan Phillips. It's music with a smooth, warm glow.

"…Unforced whimsy makes this the kind of music that enhances one's listening experience. The album's mellow sound -- alto flute is much more pleasing to the ear than the higher flute sound most people are used to -- combined with the familiar melody lines of Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther Theme" and Bobby Womack's "Breezin' " -- gives this collection a wide-reaching appeal." Mary Montgomery, San Diego Reader

“In Bradley Leighton’s gifted hands, the panther is anything but pink. The jazz flutist’s latest CD includes a variation of the theme from the Pink Panther like you won’t believe.” - Martin Jones Westlin, CITYBEAT

"Bradley Leighton finds the groove of the alto flute and rides it all the way on the waves of sound coming from the Hammond B-3. You can tell these guys like playing jazz!" - Claudia Russell, KSDS, Jazz 88.3 fm
