Multi-intrumentalist, historian and educator Bob Brozman was
born in New York on March 8, 1954. His uncle, Barney Josephson,
was a prominent clubowner who ran Cafe Society in Greenwich
Village, one of the first places in New York, or anywhere,
where Black and White musicians played on stage together.
Brozman studied music and ethnomusicology at Washington
University in St. Louis. Brozman is not only a master of
classic blues from the '20s and '30s, but also a competent
performer of early jazz and ragtime. In the mid-'70s while
still in college, he would make trips down south to find,
interview and play with the older blues artists from the 1920s
and '30s whom he admired.
Brozman recorded several fine albums in the early and mid-'80s
for the Kicking Mule and Rounder labels, and for students of
early, vintage blues and vintage guitar afficianados, they're
well worth looking for. In 1985, he recorded Hello Central,
Give Me Dr. Jazz for the Massachusetts-based Rounder label and
followed up in 1988 with Devil's Slide. For die-hard blues fans
who seek an album devoid of any of the other genres Brozman so
easily interprets (like ragtime and calypso), the album to get
is Truckload of Blues, a 1992 Rounder release. He has also
collaborated with a number of musicians from around the world,
including Hawaiian music legends the Tau Moe Family, with whom
Brozman recorded Remembering the Songs of Our Youth.
He has his own website at: www.bobbrozman.com.
