Brozman on the Backbeat

For a good workout of your synapses, see Bob's article on rhythms from Sing Out - Brozman article

I just started working on this - can anyone suggest an old chestnut of a song to try this backbeat rhythm on?

Thanks, Chris

P.S. findarticles.com also has other old Sing Out articles if you're interested.

I'd suggest any simple, well-known melody of the type one encounters in beginning folk guitar books, such as Skip to my Lou or You are my Sunshine. I alsao think you may find that using an open tuning or a dropped D will facilitate this as you can get a lot more mileage out of your bass strings.

The link above doesn't work any more.

What kind of person trawls for a completely uncontentious ten-year-old article so he can rant about his pet hate?

I'm not an admin, never have been, and I only noticed this thread because Gene posted to it.

I would guess that one of the admins was cross-linking threads about Brozman, and that had the temporary effect of bringing this one to the top. It would have quietly gone away again if Gene had just let it be. But asking how things work doesn't seem to be his style.

We still seem to be a bit short of hard facts about Brozman, but Gene is painting himself as the sort of person you would never let near a child (or trust with sharp implements, fire, guns or automobiles).

fsharpdim7, your link wasn't durable so your link is going to the original search page. Could you tell me what the name of the article was, the date, the publication, and I'll see if I can find it and relink it for you?

Thanks.

This is a ten-year-old thread, Gene. It was not on the current Mudcat Menu until you posted a new message to the thread and made it current. When there are more than a couple threads on a music subject, I cross-link them. You must have found a crosslink to this thread at the top of a recent thread on Bob Brozman's suicide.

But it is interesting to note that Brozman was published in Sing Out! It's hard for us humans to accept that some child molesters have made great contributions to the arts and other areas, despite their crimes.

Hey thanks for posting something on his teaching.   May the music that he made eventually create understanding that a person can be deeply flawed and also have something to teach. Not excusing...I'm just saying...

I'll add this link to my practice.

Here is a link for purchasing the article from Highbeam. You can probably get it free through a library with interlibrary loan or a good database.

The full citation is Sing Out January 2003, Winter, Volume 46#4
"Bob Brozman: the globetrotting Mr. National. (guitarist)"

Bob Brozman is a 48-year-old border-defying guitarist and musical intellectual who is always on the lookout for new songs and sounds, as well as fellow experimental musicians and far-flung locales--consistently offering a fresh approach as he illuminates the vast musical landscapes he traverses. Employing a deep and broad blues acumen alongside multi-disciplinary skills on the metal-body National guitar (coupled with the lush, trance-like traditional sounds of rural Hawaiian music or pre-Belafonte native-Calypso grooves as calling cards), Brozman has traveled the globe, from Okinawa to Australia, collaborating with like-minded rhythmic masters and cementing his reputation as a major player on the current world music scene. The titles of two of his independent releases, The Running Man and Live Now, seem most apt.

Growing up on Long Island, there were no musicians in his immediate family, but one of Brozman's uncles, Barney Josephson, ran a 1940s-era Greenwich Village night spot that challenged then prevalent racial barriers among performers and audience alike. "Cafe Society was the first integrated club in America. It featured everybody from Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa to Billie Holiday and Benny Goodman," Brozman explains.

"Every well-known jazz name of the 1930s and `40s played there until the early 1950s when the Red Scare was going on. My uncle was involved in the Communist Party as a teenager and that fact got dug up by Hedda Hopper, who was a very powerful newspaper columnist. One day she printed that Cafe Society was a Commie hangout and the next day there was no business and that was the end of that club." . . .


There is a seven day free trial of the site.

I found it through my university database via Gale, SingOut 46.4 p50, word count 2964. By Gary von Tersch. It is parked in with all of the reviews. I saved a copy of it as a PDF, and if some of the hoopla blows over I can post it as a file on the facebook mudcat page. Until such time comes, if you're a mudcat member you can send me a PM with your email address and I'll email you the PDF.
