David Bromberg and American Crossroads Trio: Blown away
Last Saturday, I saw David Bromberg for the first time. He is currently touring with Larry Campbell and David Hidalgo. I admit I wasn't familiar with the other two names, but have since educated myself.
It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The musical energy and synergy between those three musicians was one of those very rare opportunities where you get a glimpse of what the essence of music and music making truly is and can be, if you just put the right people together. Larry is a mind-boggingly versatile musician - he played mandolin, fiddle and guitar, and his vocals were amazing. He sang the lead on one number, which — I'm guessing — must have been a big hit for Los Lobos, "Volver, Volver," and his Spanish was impeccable, at least from what I could tell. Not the usual "Spanglish" accent. Hidalgo's vocals are sheer power, as well, and on several songs, he pulled out the accordion. All in all, a one-of-a-kind show. I really hope they make an album together. Go see them if you can.
