Brian Bromberg

Acclaimed bassist Brian Bromberg assembled smooth jazz all-stars Rick Braun, George Duke, Jeff Lorber, Boney James, Lee Ritenour and more and had them muscle up for a propulsive set of acoustic 1960s classics and funky originals. While Bromberg, Ritenour and Duke often dart between the instrumental pop and jazz worlds, it's a revelation to hear people like Jeff Lorber (the breakout soloist of the set), Boney James and Kirk Whalum play with so much casual fire. Fun for jazz fans and casual listeners alike, the feel of this one is just right.
