CD

✈
One of the most beautiful albums we've heard in years from guitarist Bobby Broom – a wonderfully poetic, picturesque set that really lives up to its title! We've known Bobby for years as a Chicagoan, but he's a New Yorker by birth – and really pays great tribute to his hometown in this well-crafted set of trio tracks – tunes that stretch out with evocative lines that go way past the usual sounds we know from Broom – all original numbers that are filled with lyrical lines, but also have a confident swing that's all New York, all the way! Bobby's tone is wonderful – that raspy style that's always made him one of the best heirs to the Grant Green legacy on guitar – almost even more amazing here in the spare company of Dennis Carroll on bass, and either Kobie Watkins or Makaya McCraven on drums. Titles include "Fambroscious", "Minor Major Mishap", "D's Blues", "After Words", "When The Falling Leaves", "Father", and "Call Me A Cab".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
