Product Information

Redefining musical diversity worldwide, Bob Brozman is a remarkably prolific artist whose wit, energy, and musical technique combine powerfully to create an unforgettable live performance. A master of slide, fingerstyle, and percussive guitar, Bob's exhilarating show spans the global and musical spectrum, and keeps audiences enthralled, begging for more of his endearing, infectious energy.

Bob's familiarity with diverse world music cultures produces a novel blending of rhythmic and timbral influences, unparalleled in today's musical environment. His rhythmic dexterity resonates with elements of blues, jazz, Gypsy swing, calypso, sega, and even the most modern hip-hop and ska beats. Likewise, his chords and harmonies articulate an acute blend of timbres from Hawaiian, Indian, African, Japanese / Okinawan, Caribbean, and American roots blues. His fingerwork has been described in world press as uniquely staggering, yet full of humor. Bob has a collection of hand-tricks that make audiences look for electronic effects that in fact don't exist: his show is the clean product of acoustic genius.

Undoubtedly, however, Bob's preferred language is music - which he speaks fluently, around the world. His most recent projects have rendered him a true player in the world music scene. In the past year alone, he collaborated on stage and in the studio with over four dozen artists from more than 13 different countries. At the 1999 Festival d'Été in Quebec, for example, Bob assembled an international troupe that included Debashish & Subhashis Bhattacharya (India), Takashi Hirayasu (Okinawa), Rene Lacaille (La Reunion), Djeli Moussa Diawara (Guinea), George Pilali (Greece), Romane (French Gypsy guitarist), La Familia Valera (Cuba), and George Gao (China) - all performing for the first time together, live on-stage! Since that time, Bob has brought parts of this vast ensemble to the USA, Europe, and South Africa.

Rezensionen


"The more you listen to it the more you are taken in. Brozman is a con man in the best tradition. He is a Music Man, hypnotizing his audience into somewhere they have never been. Let this music take you away!" (Gary W. Miller, BluesSource. com)

Press comments

W. Dulisch in stereoplay 10 / 06: "Bob Brozman ist ein Voll- blutmusiker und zeigt sich in diesem Live-Mitschnitt un- verschämt unterhaltungswertvoll und gleichzeitig musik- pädagogisch vorbildlich." F. Schöler in Stereo 10 / 06: "Wie er sich bei seinem "Rattlesnake Blues" als der Großmeister aller Slide-Klas- sen präsentiert, Gitarren zum Schlagzeug umfunktioniert, bei "Hawaiian Heat Waves" die Gitarre als (O-Ton BB) "ana- loge Zeitmaschine" benutzt, um ihr wunderbarste Klangfar- ben zu entlocken, oder am Ende auf einem mit drei Saiten bespannten Instrument ganz große Bottleneck-Kunst vor- führt, ist schon atemberaubend."
