Brian Bromberg: Wood II

Read "Wood II" reviewed by Franz A. Matzner

Listening to Bromberg take apart and reconstruct ...

Brian Bromberg: Wood II

Read "Wood II" reviewed by Robert R. Calder


On whatever Brian Bromberg has done, he's proven himself a very gutsy bassist, not just a virtuoso who's too notable for mere technique.
