The SteelPan
Music Fans and Players Remember
The Master Clive Bradley

Paris, the 15th of December 2005
Calypsociation would like to send our deepest regrets for
the loss of Clive Bradley. We all know how important
Mr. Bradley was to Trinidad and Tobago and the steel pan
community worldwide. Several of our members were lucky
enough to meet and work with Mr. Bradley, not only was he
a brilliant composer, but he was a very warm-hearted human
being and his loss was a very sad moment for all of us .
For all of these reasons we would like to join and support
you in this period of mourning. We are with you in
our thoughts and if there is anything we can do, please
let us know.
Sincerely,
For CALYPSOCIATION,
Nathalie CLERAULT
President

Respect
Caribbean Beat has profiled
some of the Caribbean's most brilliant
pan performers, players like
Ray Holman and
Andre Tanker, and over the years
we have followed the growing quantity
and quality of pan recordings. But
so far we have not explored the
world that lies behind those majestic
sounds, the orchestral displays
that so many listeners enjoy at
the Panorama competition during
Trinidad Carnival, or at the World
Steelband Festival, held this year
at Madison Square Garden in New
York. I mean the guys who write
the music; who take simple melodies
and elaborate them into full-scale
arrangements for the orchestras;
who tune the pans and give each
orchestra its own distinctive sound.
But that's something we have to
do soon. Last weekend, we lost one
of the great arrangers,
Clive Bradley, who had worked
for decades with various steel orchestras
and above all with Desperadoes,
the legendary band from on top of
"the Hill" (Laventille). Despers
is the only band with ten Panorama
championships to its name, and Bradley
had quite a bit to do with that.
Clive Bradley's genius lay in the
fact that he knew exactly which
soca or calypso melodies would sound
best on pan (mostly, those of the
late lamented Lord Kitchener), and
he also knew exactly how to develop
and elaborate them so that they
could transcend pretty much every
other Panorama arrangement. He had
worked with Despers long enough
to know exactly how to get the best
effects out of the players and their
instruments.
I have listened to Panorama for
33 years now, and for sheer musicianship
and effectiveness I don't think
Bradley's best work has ever been
surpassed. It was never "surface"
music, written for show and for
easy impact; there was always meat
in it too, always intelligence and
substance, and at his best he could
send shivers down anyone's spine.
Clive Bradley showed everyone just
what pan could be.

HOMAGE TO A GENIUS
How and where do I start to
pay homage to a genius?
His Majesty Clive Bradley to me was a musical God. He touched
my soul with every note that emanated from his sounds.
The Pan Fraternity will never ever be the same, sorry to
say but there is no one in this life time to replace him.
The World at large is a better place because of him, he
has left for us in his will the treasures of all his beautiful
melodies.
The Angels in heaven are again rejoicing because their Prodigal
Brother has returned to their musical symphony, our loss
is their gain. We are very lucky as Pan People to share
his musical creations, his music will live on or generations
to come and help soothe the pain we all share of the greatest
loss in the Pan World.
We should honor him by naming the Panorama Competition (The
Clive Bradley Challenge Trophy). Peace-Love and Blessings
to Brados. Farewell (We Love You).

His music enriched my life,
encouraged me to play and
taught me how to listen.
Truly a legend that should
be recognized as such. I
feel blessed to have been
here during his time, to
bear witness to greatness
as it unfolded.

|

|
|
My condolences to Mr.
Bradley's family and
loved ones. His music
has touched many lives
and will continue to
be a source of inspiration
and joy for generations.
Thanks Clive ....you
will always be rememberd.

|
|

|

My thoughts go out to everyone
afffected by Clive's death
and to his family. I learn't
alot last year playing his
music. Pan won't be the
same again. |
|
|
|
|
|
I am deeply saddened.
There will never be
another Clive Bradley
because he was unique
and his music was unique.
I had been after Bradley
for thirteen years to
come and arrange for
the Church but it wasn't
meant to be and every
year we'd laugh about
it...even this year,
the day before Panorama.
He couldn't stop laughing
when I told him I'd
be playing in the Panorama
this year, but who would've
known it would be his
last victory in New
York.
Life is so unpredictable;
Bradley had so many
plans and ideas that
he never had the chance
to finish because death
took him. But his music
and his joyful personality
will live on in my heart
and memories of us working
on music at the computer
will not soon be forgotten.
He had his challenges
in life as do we all,
but I believe that he's
in a better place, participating
in another kind or orchestra;
a heavenly one.

|

he was a legend deserving
of all the allocades
he got recently...
he was a dear friend
who respectfully advised
me on my career as a
writer and for this
i remain grateful
may the ancestors be
pleased with his efforts
i will pour libations
in his honour
|
|
|
|

Clive Bradley was
the giant that other
giants looked up
too and wanted to
be. He is
simply the Master.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Legend of a man
was respected world-wide
by pan folk & musicans
in general. Condolences
to the Bradley Family
and all he has touched
in those 69 year on
earth.
We will miss you dearly
Godspeed

I am a member of STVYSO
and I heard the news
yesterday from another
of my band members who
had had the pleasure
of playing with Pantonic
for a couple of their
NY panoramas. I was
looking forward to coming
up next year to share
in the experience of
working with the master.
I am truly a fan of
his works and I am saddened
by the news. However
I believe that all of
those who have worked
with him will continue
to honor him by playing
his arrangements.
My condolences go out
to Mr. Bradley's family
-- immediate and extended.
He touched the souls
of many. Rest in peace.

|

Few have touched
as many lives as
the Master Clive
Bradley. His
ability to connect
with his audience
is legendary.
For me he was the
best.
|
|
|
|
|
Right now I am listening
to Action by Desperadoes
at T&T finals in honor of
the man. The minor key jam
gives me chills.
He was the master of the
walking bassline... the
tone of Desperadoes' basses
fit his basslines perfectly.
The way he would manipulate
a mode so it would simultaneously
appear minor and major is
unique... see Music in We
Blood with Despers or Mind
Yuh Business with Nutones
for example.
To the sweetest arranger,
who could do so much without
even playing pan himself...
rest in peace. |

I last saw Clive Bradley
in Pantonic and D'Radoes
panyards and we discussed
some pan ideas. I knew
Clive since his jazz
days playing bass and
arranging for Esquires
combo.Little did I know
that it was to be my
last meeting with this
great icon of the pan
world. I hope Pantrinbago
honor his memory by
creating an award in
his name. I suggest
The Clive Bradley Arranger's
Trophy for the best
arranger in Panorama.
So long Clive you are
the greatest. What do
the panjumbies think?
|
|
|
|
|
Bloody brilliant idea mate!
A Clive Bradley trophy for
best arranger/arrangement
could be a great first step
towards doing away with
the severely flawed system
of awarding first, second
and third prizes, etc.
There could also be an award
for best performance, people's
choice, and best composition
(composed strictly for pan),
etc., etc.
The seeds have now been
planted, so all pan lovers
around the world, who often
have dissatisfaction with
panorama judging, take up
this ball and run with it.
As for Clive, just like
Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley,
John Coltrane, Bird, etc.,
before him; Clive lives
through his works - the
music he selflessly shared
with us all. |

HERE WE ARE AGAIN, KICKING
OURSELVES IN THE BUTT. STEEL
BAND ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE NEVER NEGLECTED THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED
TO THE ART FORM,
WHETHER THEY WERE ALIVE
OR DECEASED. ITS A PITY
THAT WE DONT DO ENOUGH WHEN
THEY ARE ALIVE. AND PAN
PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
GRACIOUS TO EACH OTHER.
TO
BE SURE THERE ARE A LOT
OF NEGATIVE OBSERVATIONS
FLOATING AROUND ABOUT CLIVE
BRADLEY. ONCE AGAIN LETS
BE GRACIOUS TO ONE OF OUR
OWN AND RELATE TO THE
BETTER THINGS THAT HE HAS
DONE FOR PAN MUSIC. A TROPHY
..YES
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR DESPERS
PLAY ONE OF HIS OLDER ARRANGEMENTS.
(LIKE
MARGIE) GOOD BYE CLIVE. |

As a young boy growing
up in Diego Martin I
could remember Clive
Bradley as Teacher Bradley
from his days teaching
at Diego Martin Boys
R.C. school this was
in the early 60s back
then you could tell
he was a genius in the
making.....here's a
quote from George Kallicharan
aka 'Yoyo' taken from
Trinbagopan.com in it's
Tribute to the Legend
Clive Bradley .
"My name is George Kallicharan
aka 'Yoyo' and I live
in Diego Martin. I am
a pan tuner and eveybody
knows me in the pan
world as 'Yoyo'. Originally
I am from Point Cumana
Boys Town. Boys
Town was the band that
won the first steelband
music festival.
I used to tune and arrange
for a band called
'Melo Stars',
and during that time
I used to see Bradley
around with his guitar.
One day I called Bradley
and I ask him to come
and try something with
the band. He decided
to come and he did 'Stardust'
and 'I Who Have Nothing'.
We rocked Port of Spain
Carnival Monday and
Tuesday with those tunes.
The talk spread when
they realize that Bradley
was the man who made
it happen. After that
Bradley worked with
other bands.
The first band
Bradley arrange for
was from Diego Martin.
Bradley's music was
excellent and he was
a genius. I haven't
seen any arrangers who
are in the same class
as Bradley and 'Boogsie'
Sharpe. It will take
a long time before anyone
can fill Bradley's shoe.
You cannot replace Bradley.
You have to be dedicated,
you have to love it
and you have to give
your life to it. For
instance, I am a pan
tuner and I have been
tunning and playing
pan all my life."
My thanks to When Steel
Talks for this forum,
you have taken the artform
to another level keep
up the good work.

If there was
one man that always give our band arun for
our money, I would have to say it was Mr.Bradley.
What I liked about it was that the results
were nearly always very close. As much as
we all rant and rave about the results every
year, we enjoy the competition, we live
for that 10 minutes of glory on stage. With
that said I want to send my condolence and
blessings to Desperadoes, D'Radoes, Pan
Tonic, and the whole of Clive Bradley's
family and friends. Bradley will always
be missed and thanks for the years of friendly
competitions.

As a family mamber of Clive
Bradley (nephew) I would
just like to tell those
of you who sent your condolences
that I am grateful for them.
In a legend's death there
will always be someone or
some people who try to take
us away from our goal of
bringing the pan to a higher
level. I would just like
to give scenario on the
day of his passing someone
called me (you know who
you are) to ask me "What
are you going to do now?"the
person is a member of casym.But
instead of getting upset
i answered the question.
In life there will always
be assholes and fools but
how you treat the Asshole
will always be a vital part
of your reputation.Thanks
for your condolences and
Jah bless Kadeem Trini Alleyne

What
interests me is that as a pan community
we always seem to wait until one
of us has passed on before we give
our due respect, recognition and
honour. Also how about a database
of info on pannists, tuners, arrangers,
pan builders and leaders of bands
who do sterling work in the pan
community, outside of TnT, whose
names are not in lights! People
like Goat, Cobo Jack, Ancil Joseph,
Two Left, Gerald Forsyth et al.
Bless up to pannists everywhere. |

Right
now I am in shock.... I cannot believe
Mr. Nosie passed away and I cannot
believe that Clive Bradley passed
away...my brain is confused right
now.They are now with god and they
will be safe. They are here with
us right now, but we will meet up
with them lalter on when we pass
away. I will pray for them that
they are safe and that god will
keep them until "we" get there.
I will also pray for Nosie's family
and Bradley's family....Amen
