Info zu Compared to That

For his 20th solo collection of kinetic and combustible jazz of various forms, Bromberg produced, composed eight new songs, and herded a ten-piece horn section, a full orchestra string section and a prodigious collective of prominent musicians.

"This kind of music takes me back to the days when I first got excited about jazz. Bromberg, who performs on a plethora of basses here (some resembling a Gibson full body Florentine)brings together an energetic collection of compatriots. Randy Brecker, Vinnie Colaiuta, George Duke, Bela Fleck, Larry Goldings, Jeff Lorber and a snapping Philly sounding horn section that includes Vince Trombetta mix and match on material that ranges from the catchy yet and driving title track to the frenetically kinetic “Rory Lowery, Private Eye,” both of which include some amazing solo and driving rhythm work by the leader. Meanwhile, a lush “Hayride” has some nice picking by Fleck, and “If Ray Brown Was A Cowboy?” is a thrilling little small group get together. A horn section that sounds like it just fell off the Tower of Power is as tight as J Lo’s dresses on “A Little New Old School” paving the way for some cruising music on a friendly remake of Chicago’s “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It IS?” and Rick James’ “Give It To Me Baby.” It doesn’t matter what school of music you prefer, you are going to get caught up in this joyous collection of sounds that is hip, hep and hopping!"

Brian Bromberg
Grammy®-nominated bassist and composer Brian Bromberg is one of the most innovative and versatile voices in jazz. With a career spanning over four decades, Bromberg has released more than 30 solo albums, blending mainstream acoustic jazz, smooth and contemporary jazz, fusion, rock, funk, Latin, and orchestral styles with his signature virtuosity and melodic storytelling.

He has collaborated with a who’s who of the music world, including artists as diverse as: Stan Getz, Horace Silver, Sting, Michael Buble’, Herb Alpert, Sarah Vaughan, George Duke, Arturo Sandoval, Boney James, Jeff Lorber, Lee Ritenour, Billy Cobham, Kirk Whalum, Andrea Bocelli, Randy Brecker, and Freddie Hubbard.

Known for his pioneering use of piccolo bass—sounding more like a lead guitar than a bass—Bromberg has redefined the instrument’s role in modern music.

His discography includes chart-topping albums like You Know That Feeling, Downright Upright, The Magic of Moonlight, Thicker Than Water, and A Little Driving Music. He’s also known for conceptually bold tributes such as Jaco, Bromberg Plays Hendrix, In the Spirit of Jobim, and LaFaro, honoring the late great bassist, Scott LaFaro.

Beyond his solo work, Bromberg has played on numerous film soundtracks (The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Preacher’s Wife, The Recruit), produced hits for other artists through his B² Productions company, and earned acclaim for his audiophile recordings like Wood and Hands.

Brian's passion for electric bass design has been a defining part of his professional career, with signature models accompanying him every step of the way. His latest creation—developed in collaboration with Kiesel Guitars and proudly manufactured in the USA—represents the culmination of years of refinement and innovation. The B2 Series Basses are the result of Brian’s relentless pursuit of tone, comfort, and playability. Ergonomically designed and sonically outstanding, the B2 line reflects both Brian’s artistic vision and Kiesel’s craftsmanship.

A relentless innovator and musical storyteller, Brian Bromberg continues to push the boundaries of what the bass can do—delivering soulful, world-class performances with every project.
