First documented together on 2018's "That's Right!," the musical relationship of virtuosic trumpeter Brad Goode and legendary saxophonist Ernie Watts goes back 8 years earlier when the two met on a stage together. Their vivid musical rapport immediately apparent, they've pursued yearly opportunities to tour ever since, each time exciting audiences with their high energy, tight-rope style improvisations within an ever-expanding collection of original compositions. "Live Your Dream" captures the quintet live at Madison Wisconsin's North Street Cabaret, where the rhythm section of drummer Adam Nussbaum, bassist Jay Anderson and the inventive pianist Adrean Farrugia propel the band through tunes contributed by each member, plus spacious quartet readings of "Someday My Prince Will Come," featuring Ernie, and Brad's feature on "Lover Man." "... brilliant talents, and along with an outstanding rhythm section, they have formed a superb ensemble; their music holds all kinds of opportunity for creativity and expansion." Thomas Cuniffe "Practically every possible sound explodes from Brad Goode's trumpet is full-throated melodic lines quickly are repeated by Ernie Watts on tenor; his passages equal and often extending Goode's solos and ideas."
