Warren Beatty featured his saxophone playing on the soundtrack of his Academy Award-winning film Heaven Can Wait. He was also included on Clyde Gilmour's Favourites, an album celebrating Clyde Gilmour's 25 years on one of the most famous programs ever heard on CBC Radio. Brodie has appeared as a soloist with most of the leading orchestras in Canada and has often been featured on CBC AM/FM Radio and CBC, CTV and Global Television. In 1980 he commissioned Ben Steinberg to write Suite Sephardi for him.[4]

He is the author of A Student's Guide to the Saxophone, as well as three books of saxophone solos published by Frederick Harris Music. In 1969, Brodie co-founded with Eugene Rousseau,[5] another pupil of Marcel Mule, the World Saxophone Congress and he has been an artist/clinician for The Selmer Company of the U.S.A. for over 30 years.
