" Bromberg is a player with a phenomenal technique whose improvised lines, full of rapid fire triplets, are intelligently and melodically structured." |
|
| |
JAZZ TIMES MAGAZINE |
|
| |
." His performance is one step short of manic. At times he seems to be producing two melodies simultaneously, using three or four fingers of each hand-his solo foray is phenomenal." |

Leonard Feather, LA TIMES |
|
|
."Phenomenally talented." |
|
|
JAZZIZ MAGAZINE |

|
."Bassists like this come around only rarely." |

Mark Miller, TORONTO GLOBE |

|
ARIZONA DAILY PROGRESS |
|
|
." The greatest bass player in the world." |
|
|
LIONEL HAMPTON |
|
|
." Bromberg's improvisation was a masterful assemblage of triple-stops, octave runs, high voltage strumming and amazingly for a string bassist, chordal clusters produced by tapping on the strings. Bromberg's ever more adventurous tours across the outer limits of the contemporary bass produced a series of near-classic improvisations." |
