  • Jerry has it all...Tone , chops , rhythm , soul ! Arguably the greatest sax player ! !

  • Wonderfull!!!!

  • This cat is the business,it's all there the whole history of jazz the lot.Notice that this cat plays as a total unit at all times. It is simply a band .A rare quality .You don't get much Better than t.he BergonZ..

    I once had the pleasure of telling that, that the band was a unit at all times,. through soloing.

    He is a really nice guy too and is willing to give you a few moments of his time,

    If anyone is moving things forward hear it is, Thanks for posting.

  • Great!!

  • Funny! He looks like a mafia boss and talks like a philosophy professor in Oxford. And plays like, well, we know how you play, Jerry, dont we?

  • Ive never seen Jerry with that mouthpiece.Anyone know what it is? he sounds great on it.

  • @decus69 This is a metal New York tone master that he refaced to about a 7* and has used exclusively before he started playing rubber Links.

  • Wonderfull!!!!! 

  • Bergonzi is unique !! A very jazz masters. Bergonzi is a summa and a sinthesys of t.sax modern tradition from Rollins (rhythm), Coltrane (Intensity), Henderson (obliquity and harmony) and also something of Shorter. Bergonzi don't copy any of them because he have his sound and stile. Brecker don't have his intensity and Potter is something that is similar to Bergonzi limited to the surface of his style (sound mecanique).

  • I find myself listening to at least one Bergonzi cut every day...

  • bergonzi is wonderful! and goodrick's comping is well done

  • is there a cd of this ensamble available to buy anywhere?

  • Cds On Again, an Sunscreams by Mick Goodrick,

  • Jerry Bergonzi; a beautiful player: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually!!....beautiful group too!

  • Why do I see a -1 ???? I said Jerry was one of the best sax players in the world, of course he knows the horn perfectly, but sorry, when you see Chris, or Brecker playin....

  • Dude,when Brecker was aksed if he considered himself todays greatest saxophonist he replied"I don't know,you would have to ask Jerry Bergonzi..."Got the message?And Potter is not even close to the Gonz.

  • I know Brecker was feared by Bergonzi, but Brecker was just too humble. I love Jerry bergonzi, man why are you discussing ?? Potter is just the future of the tenor sax and of the music.

  • Brecker feared by Bergonzi?I ,and I am sure many others, would really be very interested in knowing how you obtained that information?I'm sure you will share it with all of us...

    Now, the one staring to discuss are you by comparing Bergonzi to Brecker,Potter and Garzone so relax if someone replies .

    Potter could'nt carry Jerrys reedguard and he'd probably tell you yourself if you asked him.

  • sorry, you've not listened to Chris Potter... This man has a sense of melody and logical developpement of an improvisation, great sound, great compositions, great groups...

  • And jerry doesn't right...?

  • I think bergonzi is more in the tradition of a certain tenor sound, this why he sounds so different than a potter or a brecker, but man! Bergonzi has really a complete knowledge of the saxophone!

  • we agree

  • Jesus! What a SOUND!!!!!

  • ideas, execution, and tone as big as texas. jerry is da man!!

  • And he has Mick Goodrick on guitar, what could be better?

  • pretty much kickass player he is. One of the best of his generation none can deny it.

  • Jerry's "Inside Improvisation" series is awesome:D

  • No one knows the horn better. (Maybe Chris Potter)

  • Genius Jerry. Genius.

  • Jerry's one of those players that just develops so many ideas. I'm always eager to hear just what he is going to come up with next.

  • He is the man! AWESOME! Big inspiration for the next generation!!!!!!!
