Bradley Leighton brings a unique and powerful sound to flute. His style of swing evolved from listening to the big, hi-octane bands of Kenton, Herman and Ferguson in the 60's-70's. His funkiness derives from years of listening to Tower of Power, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Brecker Brothers and countless other soul/R&B acts. He brings a fire and flair not usually heard nor expected from a flutist. Bradley has performed across the US and Asia, as both sideman and bandleader, for over 25 years. His most recent gigs include headlining the Gainesville Jazz Festival and he'll be performing this summer at the Greater Hartford Jazz Festival where he'll open for Joyce Cooling and Gerald Albright.
Bradley performs at various venues in the San Diego area and donates a vast portion of his musical time to support local and out of town philanthropic events. He's also available for clinics, studio work, back up, and in performance with his Duo, Quartet and Sextet, as well as a soloist for big bands and orchestras. He heads up the Rancho Penasquitos Flute Choir and he's a member at large of the San Diego Flute Guild.
Bradley is very active in a philanthropic sense and regularly donates his time to organizations such as KSDS Jazz 88 in San Diego, The Foundation for the Blind, The Kiwanis Clubs, he's also a Yamaha Performing Artist, a member of NAMM, he sits on the Board of the San Diego Flute Guild, he's a member of the British Flute Society and a member of the Poway Chamber of Commerce, Poway, CA.
