CD ReviewsDeep Blue : Where real soul meets real jazz. . | Chicago, IL USA | 10/26/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The problem I have with a lot of 'soul-jazz' players is that they often use the 'soul' part as an excuse to avoid the 'jazz' part, ie, they ride over simple vamps for too long, and avoid the challenges of the more complex changes. No problem here. The DBOT are jazzmen with soul, and improvise with ease and groove over all of the satisfying extra chords. When in Chicago, check the "Green Mill"'s schedule. These guys play there weekly when in town.(No disrespect to the great Henry Johnson , or the reviewer who mentioned him, but Broom is simply on the next level above.)" Smokin' organ trio jazz twangmon | Nashville, TN USA | 12/24/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you dig the organ trio genre and the warm archtop tones of early George Benson, Pat Martino, Kenny Burrell, and Grant Green, you'll flip over Deep Blue Bruise. Whether the groove is moody, funky, or briskly swinging, guitarist Bobby Broom plays with a crisp, articulated attack and wraps his spiraling lines in timbres that glow like burnished copper. While still in his 20s, he toured with tenor colossus Sonny Rollins, and you can hear Newk's influence in the sheer length of Broom's lines. Not a lick player, Broom spins phrases that twist and turn across dozens of bars. He doesn't hesitate, he doesn't fumble -- he just goes. Organist Chris Foreman (who pumps out fat walking bass on his B3 pedals) and drummer Greg Rockingham sound like a super-tight band in their own right, and the trio's repertoire includes killer remakes of Prince's "Raspberry Beret" and the Doors' "Light My Fire."" A Change of pace Fusongs | Brooklyn, New York United States | 06/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I really love this CD. espicially the pop remakes. So often Jazz musicians feel the need to place over used standards on their recordings. Prince's Rasberry beret Offer the listener a new take on a pop clssic. Chris Foreman's Organ playing brings comparisons to the classic organists, ala Jimmy Smith Brother Jack McDuff to name a few. i really love the playing of Bobby Broom. A truly gifted and sophisticated player. The CD is Awesome."
