Portrait of the Artist (Bob Brookmeyer, 1959) | Liner notes by Nat Hentoff

Nat Hentoff Liner Notes for Bob Brookmeyer's Portrait of the Artist | Republished with permission


Robert Brookmeyer is tall, lean, sardonic, epigrammatic, and utterly serious about music, if not always about himself. He has become recognized as one of the most expressive trombonists in jazz history. It is his not only that he plays the valve trombone with remarkable facility, but rather it is his imagination, intensity and cutting wit that make him an authentic jazz individualist. Although he is very much his own man, Brookmeyer reminds me of the harmonic taste and venturesomeness of the late Brad Gowans, the shaggy dog narrative humor of Vic Dickenson, and the urgency of Jimmy Harrison. I do not mean that he has necessarily been directly influenced by these men, but I do mean that he has a largeness of spirit and musicianship that these three shared.

Nat Hentoff's Liner Notes, Part II

Bob Brookmeyer’s official website has published Nat Hentoff’s original liner notes from five Brookmeyer albums, between 1961 to 1978. It was the responsibility of a cat like Hentoff to write some adoring lines on Bob’s greatness as he mentioned “... he always compelled attention...the sinuous power of bob Brookmeyer was in his subtlety of melodic line, time, and wit. And in the perennial freshness of his imagination...it was as impossible for Brookmeyer to be dull as not to swing."
