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.

Another Bromberg fan, recently bought 3 of his older LPs on eBay. "My Own House" [Fantasy Records] is one of the rare pressings that really sounds like he is in the room with me, wonderful ambience. Going back to the 70s-80s, I had a good friend who was a studio musician, and he could figure out any guitar lick just by listening, but there was one player who was so good, his licks were "indecipherable" - that was Dave Bromberg! On my LP shelf he's filed next to Sandy Bull, Leo Kottke, Stephen Grossman, and another great guitar player of the era, Benji Aranoff.
