12-01-06 - A letter from Stephen Bailey.
Greetings All,
It’s been far too long since I’ve written anything to officially update all of you. In some ways it is an indication of how busy everyone in the Bromberg camp is and how quickly things are moving. There are many exciting things to tell you about in this overdue installment.
I ’ll start with the best and the biggest news. On February 26, 2007 we will be releasing David’s first studio recording in 17 years. The sixteen song CD is titled “Try Me One More Time” and will be released through Appleseed Recordings
(
http://www.appleseedrec.com/ ) and will be available worldwide. The project simply features David and his guitar and was recorded at Target Studios located inside the Baby Grand Theater at the Delaware Center for the Arts in Wilmington, Delaware. The live recording approach creates a sonic quality that is stunningly warm and intimate. The sixteen songs are typical Bromberg, connected only by their influence on his music and not by their existence in any one genre. The Reverend Gary Davis, Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson and many other writers, as well as David are represented on this recording. Stay tuned to the website for a pre-release sample of some of the songs over the coming weeks. Upon release of the CD we will provide a link for purchase.
In other significant news, the Martin Guitar Company has just released the M-42 David Bromberg Signature Edition guitar. This guitar is modeled after the prototype Martin that David has been playing live for nearly thirty years. It is a truly unique and wonderful instrument. You can check it out at:

DAVID & JERRY JEFF TOGETHER AGAIN!
As many of you know David played guitar with Jerry Jeff Walker in the very early days and was there when Mr. Bojangles was a song still unheard by most of the world. They toured together for a few years and then went their separate ways. As is common is the music business, their paths just didn’t cross all that often in the ensuing years. David went off touring with the Big Band for so many years and then living in Chicago and not touring all that much while Jerry Jeff headed off to Texas and continued to write and tour. Jerry Jeff called in November to see if he and David might get together while he was in the area doing a few shows. David’s wife Nancy suggested that the get together be a session of music and storytelling about the old days in “The Village” (Greenwich) and be recorded for a proposed WXPN radio show. The two recorded hours that followed are a rare look into those early days and the stories are those that are told amongst friends sitting in the intimacy of a living room or at the breakfast table. The session is being edited and if all goes well it will be heard on Gene Shay’s WXPN show sometime soon. Again, stay tuned to the website for an announcement.
As most of you know by now, David is back playing live on a regular basis. The shows are mostly done in a format we call “An Evening of American Acoustic Music” and include Angel Band as well as The David Bromberg Quartet in a wonderful night of acoustic music. The plan for 2007 is to visit as much of the US as time will permit and possibly go to Europe for a few shows. We have even looked at the possibility of a return to Australia after all these years. If you haven’t made it to one of the shows, we strongly encourage you to do so. The music is better than ever and we’re having a great time.
See you all out there,
Steve Bailey
