| Very talented Smooth Jazz artist Brian Bromberg has | | | | My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got |
| released his latest CD titled Wood and Wow! It's | | | | Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, Freedom |
| good. | | | | Jazz Dance. It's a great track! |
| It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist | | | | Wood Release Notes: |
| that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in | | | | Brian Bromberg originally released Wood on Jun 27, |
| the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's | | | | 2006 on the Artistry label. |
| exactly what I must say about this one. There simply | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, | | | | 1. The Saga Of Harrison Crabfeathers |
| with each song standing tall on it's own. | | | | 2. Dolphin Dance |
| Wood has a nicely varied, mix of 11 tracks that are | | | | 3. Come Together |
| very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. | | | | 4. Goodbye (For My Father) |
| With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind | | | | 5. Speak Low |
| emotion that makes for a really great listen. | | | | 6. Freedom Jazz Dance |
| Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are | | | | 7. I Love You |
| his own real life experiences. At different points | | | | 8. Straight, No Chaser |
| touching on the most real emotions of love, and the | | | | 9. All Blues |
| pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard. | | | | 10. The Days Of Wine And Roses |
| Overall Wood is a solid release. Quite possibly Brian | | | | 11. Star Spangled Banner |
| Bromberg's best to date. Really spectacular from | | | | Personnel includes: Brian Bromberg (acoustic bass); |
| beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Smooth | | | | Randy Waldman (piano); David Bromberg (drums). |
