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.

Been a big fan for decades. I saw him many times in the '70s when I lived in NYC. He's been in Co this past year with an acoustic set. He's more laid back but still funny, raunchy and musically mesmerizing.
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"?!
I saw him in the 70's in Mpls. It was the best night of music I've ever seen. What a band!
Love DB! Got all his lp`s and cd`s. His new one is great by the way. I worked in a independent store in Jackson Tn called `Souza Muzik` during college and we played DB all the time. Great stuff.....`Send Me To The `Letric Chair`
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.
