David Bromberg Big Band . A singular performer/writer/arranger, Bromberg's remarkable musical versatility and innovative resourcefulness have earned vast critical and popular acclaim.

He is a product of blues, country, jazz, folk, and classical music. From his early success as a guitar virtuoso, Mr. Bromberg has developed into a brilliant entertainer." $40, $35, $30
