Bassist and composer Brian Bromberg has just released a brand-new CD titled Downright Upright that is a return to the acoustic upright bass Bromberg used for his 2006 release Wood II. For this recording he called on collaborators, including keyboardists George Duke and Jeff Lorber; trumpeter Rick Braun; saxophonists Boney James and Kirk Whalum; guitarist Lee Ritenour; and drummers Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl. The new set includes Bromberg's unique arrangements of Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island and Chameleon, and Eddie Harris' Cold Duck Time, in addition to his own compositions. Bromberg will tour to promote Downright Upright this month with a special all-star band that includes trumpeter Randy Brecker on East Coast dates, Rick Braun on a West Coast date, and saxophonist Gary Meek, Jeff Lorber on keys, and Dave Weckl on drums.
