My Take
Bob Brozman fascinates me because he refused the usual either-or. Guitarist, ethnomusicologist, anthropologist, composer, his National steel virtuosity was only half the story. What I value is that he treated the world's music as conversation rather than collection, recording genuine collaborations with players from Hawaii, the Indian Ocean, India and West Africa. That demands the scholar and the performer working in tandem, a balance few sustain. His death in 2013 at 59 cut short a uniquely generous project. He spent a career proving, through playing rather than preaching, that music crosses borders, and that idea outlives him in every cross-cultural record he left behind.
