Gustav Brom

Gustav Brom – Calling Up The Rain (Panorama, PAN002). A rare private‑press resurrection of the Czech big‑band innovator, recorded during his late ’70s cosmic‑jazz period. The session finds Brom’s orchestra fusing modal horn charts with rock backbeats and electric keyboards, conjuring a tempest both swinging and psychedelic. Panorama’s archival treatment captures the thunderous low end and soaring brass in audiophile detail, making this reissue a treasure for Eastern European jazz collectors and adventurous big‑band aficionados.
