Brian Bromberg - Wood II
got to see him live at the Blue Note Tokyo.... unbelievable. And he takes that 300 year old bass on tour... very cool. |

The winners of the 2006 Classic FM Gramophone Awards - regarded as the Oscars of the classical music world - have today been unveiled in a ceremony at London's Dorchester Hotel.
The prestigious Record of the Year award was this year given to Claudio Abbado's recording of Mahler's 6th Symphony, with the Berlin Philharmonic on DG.
James Jolly, Gramophone's editor-in-chief, who hosted the event, said of the performance: “Here is a thrilling memento of a great orchestra welcoming back a former music director with playing of titanic power and sensitivity. Abbado's Mahler Sixth has matured and grown down the years and it's hard to imagine this intense and intensely personal music receiving a greater interpretation by any other living conductor”.

Just the way that guy enunciates the word "crazy" in the chorus really turns my crank and I'd loooove to articulate like that. He's got kind of a Marvin Gaye thing going on, that guy. If I could make my bass shriek like James Brown, whisper like Shirley Horn, be smooth-as-silk classy like Tony Bennett, I'd be a happy man. In a lot of ways, singers are where it's at.
So I wouldn't assume that there's a general lack of interest from bass players on stuff like that....

They have the work with its 4 movements, each on a separate track, and then there's a 5th track which is just 24 seconds of applause. The best part is, you can pay a dollar to purchase only the applause! What the heck?!?! What person in his right mind would buy that? Apple's business strategies are sometimes hilarious.

It has been my experience that American audiences tend to give standing ovations at the slightest whim. For instance when a performer/conductor/soloist steps on to the stage, an audience in the USA will leap to its feet, clapping, hooting, whooping and whistling. I wonder what do they do when the performance is really good?

not really pertinent to the "[DB]" thang... but an amazing album, nonetheless.
