Whether it’s a question of Gypsy jazz, calypso, blues, ragtime, Hawaiian or Caribbean music Brozman’s got it covered. He is also familiar with such diverse music cultures as India, Africa, Japan, Papua New Guinea and Reunion Island – including the roots and backgrounds.

He is well known for his use of National resonator instruments from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as new National Resophonic resonator instruments.
