Trumpet player, arranger, and session ace Brad Wilcox joins me for a deep dive into the horn arrangements he wrote for my upcoming album, “Mild Adversity & Shallow Heartbreaks. With a resume spanning Aretha Franklin to Frankie Valli, Broadway to the Charlotte Philharmonic, Brad shares what it takes to bring the golden glow of a classic record to life in 2025. From flugelhorns to funk charts, he’s done it all—and somehow, we still end up laughing about karaoke CDs and the horn line that almost was.
