Recorded at the B² Studios, Los Angeles, CA & Sound Ninja Recording Studios



This is a CD that inspired by the late great Antonio Carlos Jobim. The recording is 50/50 Jobim classics and Bromberg originals in the Jobim (Brazilian) style. This CD features an all star cast of musicians as well as Brian on nylon string piccolo bass (sounds like a classical nylon string guitar) and upright bass. This is also Brian\’s first recording to feature a full orchestra on most of the selections

Liner Notes



On the flipside of the Bromberg Plays Hendrix album, which was released at the same time, bassist Brian Bromberg pays tribute to the Bossa Nova Master, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Bromberg employs Brazilian musicians and the Rising Sun Orchestra on six Jobim compositions and six Jobim-inspired originals. Unlike Bromberg's Hendrix release, these arrangements stick close to Jobim's original versions of "One Note Samba," "Wave," "Triste/Desafinado," "Corcovado," "Once I Loved," and "The Girl from Ipanema." On this release, Bromberg uses a nylon-stringed acoustic bass with piccolo tuning, which comes close to the signature breezy sound Jobim perfected on acoustic guitar.

Al Campbell - All Music Guide



When an intensely creative and prolific artist such as Brian Bromberg decides to devote two full releases to the music of (or inspired by) another creative, you can imagine the respect is deep and the results bound to be at least interesting, if not amazing. Prepare for amazement then, please. Bassist virtuoso, producer/composer Bromberg has embraced the repertoire of two icons, Jimi Hendrix and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The interpretations are heartfelt, inspired and immense in musicality. As far as the Jobim set of standards and originals, the spiritual well of Jobim was tapped with grace, aplomb and fire.

Bromberg harnessed The Rising Sun Orchestra and surrounded himself with Brazilian musicians in an effort to foster authenticity. It’s a stunning and romantic collection. “I love Brazilian music and it’s a blast to play live. The music is so positive and energetic. The songs are simple and melodic. It’s just beautiful,” he gushes.

Brian Bromberg created this year's hat-trick. After his high-acclaimed Compared To That, a mainstream jazz album, which also respects the desire for smooth jazz elements, he surprised his fans with Bromberg Plays Hendrix, a tribute to the late guitar legend. His third strike is In The Spirit of Jobim, a homage to the Brazilian songwriter, composer and musician Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim.

Bromberg has carefully selected his co-players Airto (percussion, vocals), Alex Acuna (drums, percussion), Otmar Ruiz (piano), Corey Allen (piano melodies and fills), Ramon Stagnaro (guitar), Gary Meek (flute, sax), Mitch Forman (piano), Oscar Castro-Neves (guitar), Joel Taylor (drums), Mike Shapiro (drums, percussion) and the string section of The Rising Sun Orchestra.

Bromberg introduces into One Note Samba on acoustic bass giving the marching direction of the percussion group. A purely acoustic treat.

The popular Jobim song Wave, originally released in 1967, is well refurbished with great elegance. Coastline Drive is a piece for masters at work, a divine fusion of virtuosity and championship. Each connects with the music  different associations and impressions. Little Tune awakes memories of a stay in Salvador de Bahia. A sense of lightheartedness.

Tristefinado showcase anew Bromberg's vitality on acoustic bass concurring with one of the above mentioned guitarists. Corcovado, meaning "hunchback" in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Atop this mountain is enthroned the statue of Cristo Redentor, the landmark Rio's. Airto's wonderful presentation is followed by Bromberg's bass like a bumblebee, while the guitar perfectly fits the orchestral strings.

The uplifting Cha Chika Chika Boom crackling sparks as the Brazilian Carnival. Isn't It Beautiful? comes with a large orchestral use. Great musicianship and arrangement. Latin American guitar and orchestra blend into a superb sound structure on Ray Of Sunshine. Gary Meek's flute can share just delicate accents.

Talia is a musical realization of the swaying walk, women makes so attractive. The contemporary jazz piece Ellen is dedicated to the jazz executive Ellen Cohn. Of course, on an album that is dedicated to Jobim, Girls of Ipanema cannot be missed. Bromberg's bass performance is embedded in a traditional concert, which is pleasantly standing of by some solos.

In The Spirit of Jobim showcases Bromberg's abundant affinity for Brazilian music, which is only exceeded by his love of jazz.
