Description
When Bobby Broom was a youngster, he turned down an offer to play in legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins' band. The reason? The prodigious jazz guitarist wanted to finish high school first. Five years later, Broom joined Rollins' band and has worked with him off and on ever since. In addition to his work as a sideman for such influential artists as Miles Davis, Dr. John and Max Roach, Broom has also played bandleader for several projects, including the Deep Blue Organ Trio featuring Greg Rockingham on drums and Chris Foreman on the B-3 organ. Blending R. & B., jazz, blues, gospel and funk, the trio blurs the lines between genres, finding common ground in the groove.
