Bobby Broom - Modern Man (2001)



Guitarist Bobby Broom has been playing profesionally for more than 30 years. He's worked, with Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Dr. John, Art Blakey, Kenny Burrell, Charles Earland et al. Modern Man brings to mind the urgent, smoking energy of a young, unbridled George Benson, circa 1966's Cookbook. Indeed, fire-breathing baritone sax ace Ronnie Cuber and Hammond B-3 marvel Dr. Lonnie Smith - both key elements of that ferocious mid-60's Benson quartet - are both aboard here to ignite the fire beneath Broom's guitar in a set so diverse that it even includes pop-funk standards as Stevie Wonder's Superstition and Eric Clapton's rock anthem Layla. Great stuff.

Tracklisting:

1. Dance For Osiris
2. Ponta Grossa
3. Superstition
4. Mo'
5. I'll Never Fall in Love Again
6. Blues For Modern Man
7. Old Devil Moon
8. A Peck A Sec
9. After Words
10.Layla



personnel:

Bobby Broom - guitar

Dr. Lonnie Smith - Hammond B-3 organ

    You're right Rick, Bobby is as good as they come, I've been watching him since he was playing with Sonny Rollins back in the early 80s.

    You have a great blog, but there's no need to buy any of the records featured here. You can get 'em all for free at my blog, highly praised by the likes of Marc Meyers, and Michael Ritchie. I repeat: EVERYTHING FOR FREE!!! Down with the RIAA! Feel free to drop by for extensive download action -- but please don't report us to the police! Swingin' greets from the funky cold medina, Rab

    looks good but 7-zip leaves it in one large file (though in a folder).Can't sue it in Winamp if it's FLAC (though it seems to cue in fobar which I don't know well enough).Oh season oh castles what's life without hassles?
    Cheers

    Hi Beytere, links show all right on my screen and files are in place, just checked. Try the "post a comment option" instead of looking directly underneath the post, maybe you'll be able to see them this way.
