Jerry Bergonzi - Three for All - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

From the UK, two great Psych LPs on one CD, in mini-LP cardboard sleeve . The Hell Preachers, Inc. Were rumored to have had Deep Purple members Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice on some of these tracks but all three have persistently denied this! Ugly Custard featured the great guitar playing of Alan Parker, who was involved earlier with Hungry Wolf. From 1971 & 1968 respectively, this is fuzzed out guitar and screaming organ! Album Tracks 1. Scarboro Fair 2. My Babe 3. Hung Upside Down 4. Custard's Last Stand 5. Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You 6. Cry from the Heart 7. Never on a Blues Day 8. Feel This 9. Time Race, Pt. 1 10. Shalom 11. Let Me Shoot You 12. Nirwana 13. Courante 14. Preacher Man 15. We Like the White Man 16. Turn Turn 17. Spy in Space 18. Time Race

When I go into the studio with these guys, it's not like I feel pressure. It's like, oh boy, let's go have some fun, ays saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, recalling how his previous Savant recordings came together. In short, the acclaimed veteran didn't want the fun to end. So now here we have another terrific recording to complement the reedman's impressive Savant discography and another chance to delight in the exceptionally responsive company he keeps. Revelling in the company of long-time partners bassist Dave Santoro and drummer Andrea Michelutti, Jerry also brings Pasadena-born pianist Bruce Barth into the studio. Jerry doesn't often record with a pianist â€Inch when one cuts their musical teeth with a pianist like Dave Brubeck the titan's shadow must loom large over the keyboard but he and Bruce have become muy simpatico over the years and their interplay here is remarkable indeed. With Jerry's imaginative compositions and his intense approach to music-making, this is jazz that cuts you no quarter. The whole session swings, communicates and challenges as only Jerry Bergonzi can. Album Tracks 1. Awake 2. An Internal Affair 3. Rise Up 4. A Hankering 5. Tidlig 6. Rigamaroll 7. Do It to Do It 8. Lunar Aspects

Boston doesn't get enough credit as a jazz town. From the days of the Storyville club and Cambridge-based Transition tag to the star factory that is Berklee College of Music, the city stands tall against more celebrated places like Chicago and Detroit. One big part of that high level of creative output is Jerry Bergonzi who, for this date, leads his most Bostonian band in recent memory, reuniting with trumpeter pal Phil Grenadier and drummer Luther Gray. Bassist Harvie S came up from New York for the gig and it was he who suggested guitarist Sheryl Bailey for the album. She completes the Boston connection with her position as the Assistant Chair of Berklee's legendary Guitar Department. InchTo work with Jerry and study and perform his music is the definition of a dream come true,Inch says Bailey who has played with artists ranging from Ken Peplowski to Shingo Okudaira. Here, Bergonzi has convened a fine band for a compelling album, another feather in Boston's tricorn hat. Album Tracks 1. Loudzee 2. Extra Extra 3. Double Billed 4. Czech Mate 5. The Truth 6. Obama 7. Separated 8. They Knew
