Brian Bromberg

Brian Bromberg is a jazz bassist that has played with a virtual who’s who in jazz circles, including Dizzy Gillespie, Diana Krall, Herbie Hancock, Kenny G, Stan Getz and Woody Shaw, among many others. My friend David got me listening to Bromberg’s Metal album, which is amazing. The album is a great jazz-fusion album with some great fretwork. Even more amazing than the great music is that Bromberg played all of the parts on a bass! You’d swear that you were hearing a guitarist and a bassist interacting, but all of the guitar sounds are being made from specially-made basses, and Bromberg is playing both. All gimmicks aside, Metal is a very well-done jazz-fusion album that jazz-fusion fans and guitar fans alike will enjoy.
