	Jazzmatazz Review - Jerry Bergonzi: A Different Look & Bob Kaufman/Bruce Gertz/Bergonzi: The Line Between
		Bergonzi's playing is thick and concentrated and the tune has a complicated harmony.
		Bergonzi most shows the influence of John Coltrane on this tune, and has a fast, almost free solo over a repeating bass melody.
		Bergonzi's playing and writing are also featured on another trio record, The Line Between, by a cooperative group with drummer

		Bergonzi's earliest inspiration was his uncle, a trombonist-guitarist-bassist-arranger named Sparky Thomasetti who played in swing bands around Beantown, and lived in an apartment upstairs from the youngster.
		Bergonzi dedicates the lovely ballad "Committed" to his wife, Jeri, "a beautiful, talented piano player." As for the tune, "It's an AABA form, but all the A's are slightly different, so you run into different twists."
		Bergonzi says: "Playing trio, tenor-bass-drums, you have an open feeling; there are no chords in your way, and you can play substitutions that you might not hear if the piano played a certain voicing.

		Jerry is from the Boston area and came up during a musically exciting period in the history of that city.
		Jerry found the chart and proceeded to lay it down on the floor in front of him so he could sight-read it.
		Jerry says he changed the keys because he liked playing so much on the tune "Joy Spring" and this alteration makes the last five bars of the bridge like "Joy Spring", while the first five bars of the bridge are like "Giant Steps" changes.

	Brooke Sofferman featuring Jerry Bergonzi \| The Green Between
		The contributions to this session by Sofferman's playmates, especially tenor sax man Jerry Bergonzi and Phil Grenadier's trumpet, are well documented on this track.
		Both in solo state and in interaction with each other, this duo casts a wide net of musicality with this piece which well could be the musical theme for a film noire.
		Bergonzi forsakes the warm tone employed on the ballads for a crisp, biting attack on this cut.

	Jerry Bergonzi : Standard Gonz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Jerry Bergonzi has always been strongly influenced by the sound of John Coltrane circa 1960-63.
		Bergonzi really has 'Trane down, and he tears into the pieces with all of his fire and creativity.
		The rhythm section (pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Dave Santoro and drummer Adam Nussbaum) is fine in support (McCoy Tyner is one of Calderazzo's influences), but this is essentially Bergonzi's show.

	CD Review of Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Kaufman, and Bruce Gertz - Dreaming Out Loud on Whaling City Sound @ jazzreview.com
		Jerry Bergonzi is first-class among sax players, and is at the top of his game here.
		Bergonzi is also responsible for most of the compositions on the album, and should feel proud to the main contributor to such an album.
		Bergonzi’s fierce tone, in combination with Kaufman’s electricity and Gertz’s thrust generate innovative, evocative, and evolutionary jazz.

		Jerry Bergonzi has been one of the greatest saxophonists and musicians for many years.

		When he was going to school, Jerry Bergonzi admits he was slightly cuckoo.
		All it took to hook Bergonzi on the jazzmasters of the late 1950s and early ’60s was listening to a friend’s LP collection, which included the works of saxophonists Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Wayne Shorter.
		While Bergonzi knows the reputation of the Note, he admits he really doesn’t know what to expect when he hits the stage.

	Jerry Bergonzi : Vertical Reality - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The title of the album may refer to the nature of Bergonzi's playing and arranging in general; his emphasis is on the vertical, harmonic nature of each tune rather than singable lines and enduring melodies.
		Bergonzi is far subtler and more effective in his approach here, creating accessible post-bop while leaving considerable improvisational space for each of the players.
		Highlights include a hard-edged, Stern-dominated version of Bergonzi's "Jones" and swinging interpretations of "On Green Dolphin Street" and "Lover Man." This is a recommended Bergonzi release.

		The music, underpinned by a wealth of Afro-Latin rhythms, is delivered by a splendid cast which includes Michelin, tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, bassist Fernando Huergo, drummer Steve Langone-all holdovers from Art-along with percussionist Da Silva and singers Alex Alvear, Sharine Ganse, Chiara Civello, Viscardi and Viqueira.
		A dialog ensues between the rhythm section and soloist Bergonzi, “though some phrases we play together.” Langone steps in with a few remarks as well, then all quiets down for an introspective Nando interlude which precedes the rollicking “Obaluaie,” written in a rhythm called apanije.
		At one point, Jerry had this amazing dialog between the upper and lower registers of his saxophone.

	DTR165 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In addition to Dave’s supple pulse and Jerry Bergonzi’s blazing tenor, the date features the lithe time-keeping of drummer Tom Melito, an East Coast mainstay who’s helped power groups led by tenormen Steve Grossman, Ken Peplowski and Lew Tabackin, and who also played a key role in the success of Dave’s first Standards Band release.
		Bergonzi, the post-Coltrane tenorist who “sings” with heart-on-sleeve, is simply one of today’s bona fide originals, a searing player whose tumultuous yet lyrical style never fails to impress.
		Here, with its breakneck tempo, Jerry romps with a Rollins-esque kind of rhythmic and melodic displacement which unfolds against a vivid rhythmic backdrop woven tightly by the simpatico interplay of Dave, Renato and Tom.

		The ability to articulate quickly and easily throughout the full range of the horn without making any embouchure adjustments is just one of the many attributes of this mouthpiece.
		This model is especially perfect for players who wish to play in the upper register (altissimo) of the horn and is ideal for players who wish to "get away" from a metallic sound, yet still retain the "power" and "edge" of a metal mouthpiece.
		Originally designed in collaboration with Jerry "The Gonz" Bergonzi this model has been recently modified to suit the needs of both the "traditional" as well as the "contemporary" player.
