Bobby Broom

Recording and performing guitarist Bobby Broom’s love of jazz has never blocked out his affection for the pop music which he grew up with. It’s been a frequent wellspring throughout his career. “It’s a lot of what I do,” he acknowledges. “Material is material, and I’m just trying to do things that are interesting to me and that I feel might be interesting to people.” Soul Fingers, his joyful 2018 release with his organ trio The Organi-Sation, presents a whole album’s worth of such interesting things. Drawn from Broom’s favorite songs of his childhood in the '60s and ’70s, the album runs the gamut from The Beatles and Procol Harum to Bobbie Gentry and Motown. It’s a path that has won Broom an impressive following, and significant acclaim, both within and outside his home base of Chicago.
