I've always wondered if Brian Bromberg was any kin to David Bromberg.

Anyone know?


Hmmmm... not sure... but here is a review of "Wood." At the very least,
Brian has a brother named David (and looking at the CD cover, I would have
to assume he is THE David Bromberg's brother, because they could be clones
of each other). Never knew David played drums, though:

"Perhaps his stint with Stan Getz rubbed off on him. As jazz bassists go,
Brian Bromberg evokes a tender lyricism out of his instrument that few of
his peers are capable of. On Wood, Bromberg performs 11 tunes in a trio,
duo, and solo format, with his 300-year-old upright bass at the fore. From a
bouncy bebop version of 'Speak Low' to a funky take on the Beatles' 'Come
Together,' this album is remarkably consistent. Bromberg performs Eddie
Harris's 'Freedom Jazz Dance' and Miles Davis's 'All Blues' solo, and you
forget you're hearing just a single bass. His technique is refined but
soulful, and his take on the 'Star Spangled Banner' is more understated than
flashy (no small feat). Though Randy Waldman backs him ably on the piano and
brother David on drums, Bromberg is clearly the star on this remarkable
effort, and the warm studio sonics emphasize his instrument over all the
others. You can hear the influence of Charlie Haden on his playing, but
that's OK. Bromberg is a talent to watch, and this low-key album is a solid
introduction to his many skills. --Jason Verlinde"
