Bobby Broom is the only "modern" guitar player i can mention in the same breath as Grant Green, George Benson and Wes Montgomery. a lot of other players these days are way to sterile and unswinging for my taste
mr. broom is awesome! He really has that swinging jazz feeling, which i miss today. most jazz guitarplayers play boring 4/4.. i really enjoy his playing, and i am not a huge fan of contemporary jazz. he is really awesome. he also has the "benson-picking technic".. i would love to now how he came to this form of picking.
Bobby Broom es uno de los mejores guitarristas de Jazz actual quien da continuidad al discurso y la herencia de los grandes maestros como Wes Montgomery,George Benson y Kenny Burrel.
Bobby Broom is one of the finest jazz guitarists today who gives continuity to the speech and the legacy of the great masters such as Wes Montgomery, George Benson and Kenny Burrel.
Learn to play dorian and mixolydian first. Then you'll realize it STILL sounds nothing like jazz, thats when you learn to use enclosures and chromaticism. Then you'll sound like a rock player trying to sound like he knows jazz. Learn how to swing eighth notes, and THEN you'll finally START to sound like you understand.
This is a very nice clip. Bobby Broom has always been a hard-swinging thoughtful guitarist since his Berklee days. This is a very good jazz band and it's nice to hear such a solid sax section.
Solid sax solos in addition to being able to blend in the section.
Right, good ears! The intro (arranged by Oliver Nelson for big band) is reminiscent of "Seven Steps...". However, after that the melody is a 12 bar blues that Wes Montgomery wrote.
Yah! I like the way these guys play jazz.

brings his own sound to the instrument. I love how he lags behind the beat at times.
