Bob Brozman (born 1954) is an American guitarist and ethnomusicologist.

He has performed in a number of styles such as blues, Gypsy jazz, calypso, ragtime, Hawaiian and Caribbean music. Brozman has also collaborated with musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds such as India, Africa, Japan, Papua New Guinea and Reunion Island. He has been called “an instrumental wizard” and “a walking archive of 20th Century American music. ” Bob maintains a steady schedule throughout the year, touring constantly throughout North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa. He has recorded numerous albums and has won the Guitar Player Readers’ Poll two years in a row in both the blues and slide guitar categories. From 1999-2006, he co-founded International Guitar Seminars, which hosted over 120 students annually at sites in California, New York, and Canada.” From 2000 to 2005 his collaborations have landed in the European Top 10 for World Music an unprecedented five times.

Brozman is also a linguist, anthropologist, and ethnomusicologist. He was formerly an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Contemporary Music Studies at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He is starting a foundation for the purpose of getting some of the western surplus of instruments and other musical supplies directly into the hands of musicians in third world countries in Africa and Oceania.

    I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone by Richard Brautigan I finally ended up describing you as a movie I saw when I was a child in Tacoma Washington. I guess I saw it in 1941 or 42, somewhere in there. I think I was seven, or eight, or six. The movie showed electricity like a young Greek god, coming to the farmer to take away forever the dark ways of his life. Suddenly, the farmer had electric lights to see by when he milked his cows in the early black winter mornings. The family got to listen to the radio & have a toaster and lots of bright lights to sew dresses and read the newspaper by. It was really a fantastic movie and excited me like listening to the Star Spangled Banner, or seeing photographs of Roosevelt, or hearing him on the radio "... the President of the United States... " I wanted electricity to go everywhere in the world. I wanted all the farmers in the world to be able to listen to Roosevelt on the radio.... And that's how you look to me.

    I lost my CD , Ocean Blues (Djeli Moussa Diawara & Brozman from 2000), which is not available anymore for order , neither on Amazon nor on Brozman's site. Does anyone know where it's purchaseable? As a disc?
