In the Spirit of Jobim

When an intensely creative and prolific artist such as Brian Bromberg decides to devote two full releases to the music of (or inspired by) another creative, you can imagine the respect is deep and the results bound to be at least interesting, if not amazing. Prepare for amazement then, please. Bassist virtuoso, producer/composer Bromberg has embraced the repertoire of two icons, Jimi Hendrix and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The interpretations are heartfelt, inspired and immense in musicality. As far as the Jobim set of standards and originals, the spiritual well of Jobim was tapped with grace, aplomb and fire.
