Used to see him regularly when I was in college. I still spin his LPs from time to time and wonder why I don't listen to them more often. What a phenomenal talent. He lived and worked in Chicago for a long time, building and refurbishing violins. I believe he is now in Wilmington, DE. I am hoping (probably hopelessly) that the studio sessions he did with Bob Dylan in the early 90s will be released...maybe as "Bootleg Series Vol 9"?!
David Bromberg -- Any fans?
I still play Bromberg albums. Never got to see him live. He got lost in the embarrassment of riches we failed to appreciate back when we had it. There were so many great acts in the late 60s and early 70s that people like David Bromberg, who would be cherished today, had only niche followings back then.
