David Bromberg – Guitar Artistry of David Bromberg

“David Bromberg has such control of his audience that he can, at one moment, hold it in his hand with a tender, touching yet funny anecdotal song, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.” – New York Times

“The extraordinary folk-blues guitarist David Bromberg has strolled back into the spotlight as abruptly as he resigned from it nearly three decades ago when he dissolved his fantastic and popular touring band in 1980 to study violin making… The fluid, orchestral invention of Bromberg’s fingerpicking — his original calling card on pivotal late-1960S and 1970S sessions for Jerry Jeff Walker (“Mr. Bojangles”) and Bob Dylan (New Morning) — is in undiminished bloom, invigorating sturdy old blues and ballads.” – ROLLING STONE

In this intimate portrait, the legendary David Bromberg talks about his influences and performs the music he loves – a wide panorama of American blues, folk, country, bluegrass, ragtime, jazz and contemporary sounds.

Inspired by the music of Pete Seeger and the Weavers, among others, he began studying the guitar at age 13. After graduating from Tarrytown High School, he enrolled at Columbia University intent on a career as a musicologist. During this period he discovered the old recordings of Blind Blake, Lonnie Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Marshall Owens, Luke Jordan and other great country bluesmen, as well as contemporary recordings of B.B.King, Freddie King and Albert King. He studied with Rev. Gary Davis for several years and as Rev. Davis said, “I have no children but I have several sons”. David was a son to the great Reverend.

Drawn to Greenwich Village’s flourishing coffeehouse folk music scene of the mid-1960’s, David left Columbia University and opted to devote full time to his music. Shortly thereafter, his extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many other musicians: Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Tom Paxton, and Chubby Checker are only a few of the notables who sought David out as a back-up artist for recording. In all he has played as a sideman on over 100 albums.

A singular performer/writer/arranger, David’s remarkable musical versatility and innovative resourcefulness have earned vast critical and popular acclaim. He is also impossible to classify: As one critic perceptively wrote, “David Bromberg fits no pigeonholes. He is part of everything contemporarily musical. He is a product of blues, country, jazz, folk, and classical music. From his early success as a guitar virtuoso, Mr. Bromberg has developed into a brilliant entertainer.”

Review: Meet David Bromberg– for the first time all over again. After an extended leave-of-absence from the concert stage, the now fully recharged master guitarist has since resumed dazzling audiences. Here’s dazzling proof. Although sharing a title track with his 1972 LP of the same name, this Demon In Disguise is a current meet-and-greet: a one-on-one DVD performance that provides quality alone time with the bearded bard and an acoustic guitar. True to form, Bromberg effortlessly unfurls the diverse 20-song set list like a one-man musical library, maneuvering from blues to bluegrass, ragtime to rock, gospel to folk. To sweeten the deal, he candidly fills in between songs with historical facts, vintage insight, and personal tales. Without ever blinking, he hops from Blind Blake (“Chump Man Blues”) to Ray Charles (“Fool For You”) and from former mentor Rev. Gary Davis (“Just A Closer Walk With Thee”) to former employer Bob Dylan (“It Takes A Lot To Laugh, A Train To Cry”). “Try Me One More Time” gets squeezed out from beneath a steely slide, while fingerpicks crisply snap out “Maple Leaf Rag.” For a touch as soft as a teardrop, the Celtic instrumental “Shebeg An Shemore,” like the oldtime “Buck Dancer’s Choice” and Lonnie Johnson’s “Levee Camp Moan,” is drop-dead gorgeous. And the need for speed still resides in the picker’s paradise of “Columbus Stockade,” which with blurred hand, he and guitarist Bobby Tangrea blaze in tandem. It’s the next best thing to having Bromberg plunk down on your couch.
