[A] [E]
Hey, [Em] it's Brian Bromberg, playing Purple Haze on a [Gm] fretless bass.
I'm here [E] to talk to you today a little bit about [A] a brand new release called [E] Bromberg
Plays Hendrix, which is a, I did a take on a bunch of classic Jimi Hendrix songs, so
it's a tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
And even though people know me as a jazz musician, a [Eb] jazz bass player, a lot of acoustic bass,
I was a huge Jimi Hendrix fan as a kid.
It meant something to me inside, and I really didn't know why, because I was very young.
You know, what can you say about Jimi Hendrix?
One of the most influential human beings, let alone guitar players and singers and musicians
in the world.
And it was an amazing amount of [C] fun to do.
It doesn't even sound anything like a Jimi Hendrix record.
[Cm] And that's why it works.
[C]
[Cm] I've got the most ridiculous drummer in the world, Vinnie Caliuta, playing drums, and
the whole record is me and [E] Vinnie.
And that was the biggest challenge and the most rewarding part, and the end result even
kind of surprised [Gb] me of how much breathing there was, and how much, when you listen to
Vinnie play and [Gm] the way he's playing it, I mean, it sounds like we're five or six guys
playing live, [Eb] because it's the way it's [F] kind of going up and down through the [Eb] music.
[Cm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] That's what I'm the most proud of, the fact that it breathes, it's real, and it sounds like music.
And on the [Gm] record, I think I played nine or eleven basses, I don't even know, but I played
a lot of different basses.
I played my upright, [C] a lot of acoustic, a lot of [Bb] electric, you know, [G] four string, five
string, a lot of slapping, a lot of [A] funky stuff, a lot of [Ab] fretless melodies, [Eb] some lyrical
things which are all utilizing the [C] instrument that I love and play, yet all have [Bb] very distinct [G] different sounds.
And [A] the one thing about [Ab] doing [Eb] the Jimi Hendrix songs is that within [C] those songs, there is
a tremendous amount of open palette [F] canvas to [Ab] use these different basses [F] in different ways.
So all [Eb] the guitar [C] on the record is me, piccolo bass, there's no guitar on it, and I would
just stack my different parts.
[G] [Bb] [C]
It was truly a humbling experience to make the record.
I loved every minute of it because [Bb] every note I played was a challenge of how the [Gb] hell am
I going to pull this [C] off and make it righteous.
Even through all the challenges, it made it easy to be musical because what Jimi brought
to the music [Bb] was so [F] amazing and [A] powerful.
I mean, he could do [Dm] so much with so little, it was [A] remarkable, and I think that spirit
of [Dm] what Jimi brought to the music helped me in the confidence of building all these tracks.
[A] It was truly an [D] amazing experience and something I'm [Dm] actually very, very proud [G] of.
For those of you who [F] know me for playing upright and playing [Am] straight ahead acoustic jazz and
trio [G] tunes, you're going to be quite surprised when you hear this record because this record
[E] really doesn't have much to do with jazz except for the improvisation.
It is a screaming rock [Dm] fusion record.
[B] But a lot of fun, I'm really proud of it.
So, [D] Robert Plays Hendrix, [E] check it out.
