Bobby Broom with..

[sheldonm]

Just had a note from guitarist Bobby Broom who said the new Deep Blue Organ Trio CD/DVD as well as a new Sonny Rollins CD they recorded will be in stores soon. I'm a big fan of Bobby; great guy!!! Anyone that's heard the organ trio knows what I'm talking about and who doesn't like Sonny???? Well, there was the one guy...........!

Pity Sonny doesn't record with the organ trio, just have him show up and let Broom pick the tunes. Should be the perfect antidote to Sonny's nice but too fussed over studio dates...

if you're in touch with Broom, would you ask him if he recalls a gig he did MANY years ago at the West End Cafe in NYC with Al Haig - (probably around 1978 or 1979) - I remember Haig telling me I had to hear this young kid he was bringing on the job with him and man, it was quite impressive -

thanks Sheldon - he mentions sitting in with Haig at a club on the East Side called Gregory's, which is where I met Haig - who was working with Jamil Nasser on bass, and at first Chuck Wayne and than Al Gaffa on guitar - he remembers the West End gig only vaguely, though I recall being absolutley amazed at Broom's playing. I think Jimmy Wormworth was on drums - and that's correct, Bright Moments, there's no reason Broom would remember me, as Haig was the guy I hung out with, and the West End was the first and only time I met Broom (I had spent a lot of time at Gregory's but at that time had just started to work a 9-5). Thanks for checking it out -
