LOS ANGELES: while Tucson-born, Los Angeles-based Brian Bromberg has been equally conversant and downright virtuosic on both electric and upright basses, he sticks strictly to the latter on his latest offering, LaFaro.

A tribute to the legendary jazz bassist whose revolutionary contributions to the classic Bill Evans Trio still reverberate to this day, Bromberg’s 28th as a leader shows him in an unadulterated swinging trio setting in the company of pianist Tom Zink and drummer Charles Ruggiero. 

LaFaro will be released on April 5 in CD, LP and digital formats on Bromberg’s own Be Squared Productions label. 

Come welcome Brian Bromberg to Vienna Live!
