World-renowned acoustic and electric bassist Brian Bromberg's first album since 2012, which he understandably describes as 'the most important record of my career', as it marks his triumphant return from a career-threatening back injury.\r

Like all of his work, 'Full Circle' features a stellar cast that includes trumpeter Arturo Sandoval; saxophonists Bob Sheppard, Kirk Whalum and Doug Webb; pianists Randy Waldman, Mitch Forman and Otmaro Ru\xedz; and percussionist Alex Acu\xf1a. The project also finds 'the man that refuses to sit still' mixing styles from New Orleans funk and a legit jazz cover of Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' to Cubop - with a sizzling, relentless swing throughout.

Bromberg indeed completes a full circle here, as he started his musical career on the drums and now returns to sit behind the kit. 'Full Circle' is pretty much a straight-ahead jazz date unlike anything of Brian's career and yes, he does play a bunch of bass too. There is no guitar on this recording. All guitar-sounding tracks are played on a piccolo bass. Brian's piccolo bass on this recording is an arched top hollow body bass guitar that is tuned to the register of a guitar, one full octave and a fourth above standard bass tuning.
