Brian Bromberg

Indeed it does! Im a fan of Wax Trax for used and hard to find stuff...I was really disappointed in Denvers Virgin Megastore. Im a New Orleans native and the Virgin down there is 4 floors and has everything under the sun it seems. Including a "Local" music section. I hadnt thought of checking Twist and Shout, so Ill definately check into that. This is one bassist who I want to have the entire collection of...and definately want to show support to.
Thanks for the advice!

I had the chance to met him 10 years ago, during a clinic he gave in Argentina. I had no idea who the guy was (just saw his name a couple of times in Bass Player).
So I went to check him out and he blew me away.
He was playing with his new Peavey Signature bass. It sounded incredibly and his chops were amazing. I went to talk him later and
found that he was humble guy. I bought two of his cd´s immediately.

I remember one of his advices when he said he improved his technique when he was young, by watching himself in the mirror when he played.
Great experience.

I am very fortunate that my instructor played for him. You mentioned the mirror thing, my first lesson was last week and that is the same thing he told me. He played the bass parts while Bromberg played the piccalo (sp?) bass parts while on tour. I recently got Choices and was floored by this guy, Bass in your Face is sick, he's kinda like if you crossed Jaco with Al De Meola with a touch of Wooten, the guy is awesome!

Check out "Basses Loaded". It's killer.
