Routes and Branches Play List 7/26/08

Tim Little

This was another special week for me at KRVM. This week I had the opportunity to have a phone conversation with David Bromberg. David and I share some similarities in that we both have been away from the music scene for a number of years, me from radio and David from touring and making records.

David Bromberg went to school in Chicago to study violin making. In 2002 he moved to Wilmington, Delaware where he appraises violins as well as buying and selling violins. Since moving to Delaware he also became involved in the local music scene, and is now baking up his wife's group the Angel Band.

The Angel Band is a powerful female vocal group lead by David's wife Nancy Josephson who either wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on the new disc With Roots & Wings. Nancy is joined on vocals by Jen Schonwald and Kathleen Weber. Together they create amazing Harmony vocals. The Angel band is backed up by "chum" which is a version of David's quartet.

David Bromberg has also released a new disc of a remastered concert that his quartet performed in New York City in 1982. It is a powerful show in which the band is cookin' I'm looking forward to seeing David again this week in Portland.
