Brian Bromberg • In The Spirit of Jobim

 

Review by Al Campbell

On the flipside of the Bromberg Plays Hendrix album, which was released at the same time, bassist Brian Bromberg pays tribute to the Bossa Nova Master, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Bromberg employs Brazilian musicians and the Rising Sun Orchestra on six Jobim compositions and six Jobim-inspired originals. Unlike Bromberg's Hendrix release, these arrangements stick close to Jobim's original versions of "One Note Samba," "Wave," "Triste/Desafinado," "Corcovado," "Once I Loved," and "The Girl from Ipanema." On this release, Bromberg uses a nylon-stringed acoustic bass with piccolo tuning, which comes close to the signature breezy sound Jobim perfected on acoustic guitar.

Reseña de Al Campbell

Por otro lado, el bajista Brian Bromberg rinde homenaje al maestro de la Bossa Nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim, en el álbum Bromberg Plays Hendrix, que fue editado al mismo tiempo. Bromberg emplea a músicos brasileños y a la Orquesta del Sol Naciente en seis composiciones de Jobim y seis originales inspirados en Jobim. A diferencia del lanzamiento de Hendrix de Bromberg, estos arreglos se acercan a las versiones originales de Jobim de "One Note Samba", "Wave", "Triste/Desafinado", "Corcovado", "Once I loved" y "The Girl from Ipanema". En este lanzamiento, Bromberg utiliza un bajo acústico de cuerdas de nylon con afinación de piccolo, que se acerca al sonido de Jobim perfeccionado en la guitarra acústica.

Notes:
This is a CD that inspired by the late great Antonio Carlos Jobim. The recording is 50/50 Jobim classics and Bromberg originals in the Jobim (Brazilian) style. This CD features an all star cast of musicians as well as Brian on nylon string piccolo bass (sounds like a classical nylon string guitar) and upright bass. This is also Brian\’s first recording to feature a full orchestra on most of the selections
