On Downright Upright, acclaimed bassist Brian Bromberg leads an All-Star line-up to create an irresistible musical retro tour of the era when Freddie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock were reaching a peak. Joe Zawinul and Eddie Harris were changing the scope of jazz. Weather Report was in, and jazz was changing rapidly. Generating retro grooves, hypnotic rhythms and catchy hooks on every track, this mix of original compositions and fresh interpretation of classic tunes will be favorites for years to come.
On both acoustic and electric bass, Bromberg has demonstrated prodigious facility on a series of impressive offerings over the past 20 years. He goes it strictly acoustic here in a program of accessible covers and engaging originals assisted by a lineup of smooth-jazzers including saxophonists Kirk Whalum, Gary Meek and Boney James, trumpeter Rick Braun, guitarists Lee Ritenour and Gannin Arnold, and pianists Jeff Lorber and George Duke, all of whom stretch out more than you’d expect, with some surprising results. All-world drummer Vinnie Colaiuta does typically heroic duty in fueling the proceedings with crisp, supple backbeats.
