Notes: This fantastic album features David playing live with his "large band".  It seems that everyone is a multi-instrumentalist with chops to spare.  Recorded live at various venues during 1979 this collection of tunes smokes the grooves.  A few tunes feature Garth Hudson of The Band. Bromberg seems to cycle between touring, writing and then disappearing for years at a time to create fine wooden instruments.  If it has string he can play it.  Well saying "play it" isn't really giving him his due; the man can make the instrument sing, talk, squawk and purr.  If you ever have the chance to see him, in any musical configuration, don't pass it up.
