 The Bradfield Scheme - The Greatest Scheme of All
But Dr. Bradfield is possibly better known for something that he did not build, his magnificent plan for the watering of the inland Australia which he presented to the Queensland government in 1938, following a lifelong interest in irrigation and water conservation.
Bradfield’s plan involved diverting the waters of the upper reaches of the Johnson, Tully, Herbert, Burdekin and Flinders Rivers one into the other, then into the Thompson, thence into Lake Eyre, refilling it and, with evaporation, creating a climate change and rainfall throughout inland Australia.
In evidence on the Bradfield Scheme to the Commonwealth Rural Reconstruction Commission, an engineer - H. Moss, A.M.I.E. (Aust.) - told the commission that some parts of the scheme were feasible, that many of Bradfield’s claims could not be justified, and that no firm opinion could be expressed on other points without further technical investigation.

 Geof Bradfield, Noel Kupersmith, Ted Sirota, Rule of Three
The template is Rollins’ marvellous stripped-down trios of the late 1950s, but Bradfield doesn’t mimic Rollins’ combo of cliffhanger drama and expansive, sometimes cruel wit – he’s after a purer melodicism, silvery and limber and reaching up often into his (very clean) high register.
Even at his most fiery Bradfield communicates as clearly and directly as if each line were set in type (sanserif, naturally).
Bradfield’s compositions are spacious but sturdily built, and sit comfortably alongside Ellington’s “Day Dream” (a performance that’s wistful and grand by turns), Rollins’ “Paul’s Pal,” Andrew Hill’s “Reconciliation” (from the pianist’s Judgment), and Randy Weston’s charming “Berkshire Blues.” A quietly exhilirating album, and one of the more significant debut recordings of 2003.
