His uncle, Barney Josephson, was a outstanding club proprietor world Health Organization ran Cafe Society in Greenwich Village, one of the low places in New York, or anyplace, where shameful and edward White musicians played onstage together.


Brozman studied music and ethnomusicology at Washington University in St. Louis. Brozman became non only a professional of authoritative blue devils from the '20s and '30s, simply also a competent performing artist of early jazz and ragtime. In the mid-'70s patch still in college, he would make trips down South to find, interview, and encounter with the aged blue devils artists from the twenties and '30s whom he admired.


Brozman recorded various fine albums in the early and mid-'80s for the Kicking Mule and Rounder labels, and for students of early, time of origin blues and vintage guitar aficionados, they're well worth looking for. In 1985, he recorded Hullo Central...Give Me Dr. Jazz for the Massachusetts-based Rounder tag and followed up in 1988 with Devil's Slide. Truckload of Blues appeared on Rounder in 1992.


Brozman has as well collaborated on album projects with a number of musicians from about the world, including the Tau Moe Family (Memory the Songs of Our Youth), Debashish Bhattacharya (Mahima ), René Lacaille (DigDig), Takashi Hirayasu (Jin Jin and Nankuru Naisa), Djeli Moussa Diawara (Ocean Blues), Led Kaapana (In the Saddle), David Grisman (Flavor Poems III), Jeff Lang (Wheeling Through This World), Woody Mann ( Catch Together), and Cyril Pahinui (Four-spot Hands Sweet & Hot). He has unbroken engaged as a solo act as well, releasing Live Now, Metric Time, and Vapours Reflex early in the new millenary.

Continuing to show off his versatility in playacting compositions influenced by varying cultures, he released 2 albums in 2007, Lumiere and Postindustrial Blues.
