Bromberg's Abandon

Reckless Abandon by The David Bromberg Band Fantasy Records, 1977.

You better resist, yourself. Put on the brakes. Be Careful!

If her sister starts calling you "Brother,"

Then you got to get yourself farther, and

If her Mom acts real sweet, And her Pop's always discreet,

Hit the street!

As impressive as the musicianship is one this cut--and on the other nine songs on Reckless Abandon--it is ultimately Bromberg's personality and showmanship that pull it through and make it work so well. Yes, the arrangements are almost flawlessly tight, and yes, the soloing and general musicianship is superb throughout the album. But that's not it. Bromberg brings to his music a rare blend of talent, technique and energy that makes him a highly charismatic entertainer. And that's what Reckless Abandon is really all about: good entertainment.
