Guitarist Bobby Broom may not have the kind of high profile that some of his Jazz contemporaries enjoy but he has the kind of résumé that would make a good many of them green with envy. The New York City native studied Folk guitar at 12, but switched to Jazz lessons a year later and went on to become a decorated high school standout in the Jazz ensemble. Broom actually began his Jazz career before graduation; at 16, he played Carnegie Hall behind Sonny Rollins and Donald Byrd.
He has successfully balanced his formidable schedule as a guitarist for hire with his burgeoning solo career. He has worked with an astonishing array of Jazz greats — Miles Davis, Max Roach, Stanley Turrentine, Ramsey Lewis, Kenny Burrell, Charles Earland, Lonnie Smith and Sonny Rollins— while maintaining an acclaimed solo presence on the road and in the studio with his two groups, the Bobby Broom Trio and the Deep Blue Organ Trio. He plays The Redmoor with his Deep Blue Organ Trio.
