"Bradlee grew up in Pattenburg, a part of Union Township in Hunterdon County. He attended piano lessons, but wasn't all that motivated until he heard George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" when he was 12. The sound intrigued him since it injected "jazz and ragtime sensibilities," he says, into a classical template."
