Everett Bradley's new CD, Richie appearance

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and smooth jazz trumpeter Chris Botti are among the guests on "Toy," the debut album from multi-instrumentalist/composer/singer/actor/dancer Everett Bradley. The 15-track holiday-themed release also features guest appearances by vocalists Ann Hampton Callaway and Sasha Lazard, and "Saturday Night Live" band drummer Shawn Pelton.

Sambora duets with Bradley on the track "Funky Santa," to which he also adds a lead guitar solo. Botti can be heard playing on the song "Dirty Snow." The album is available through Bradley's official Web site.

Bradley is the co-creator of the hit Broadway show "Swing" and was the first American male cast member of "Stomp." As the Original, he scored a 1994 U.K. hit with the dance single "I Luv U Baby," and has recorded and toured as a percussionist with the likes of Bon Jovi, Darryl Hall and David Bowie.
