Also at 10 pm. Jerry Bergonzi tenor saxo, Perico Sambeat alto saxo, Renato Chicco Hammond B3, Andrea Michelutti drums. Description The Bostonian Jerry Bergonzi returns to the Jamboree once again. An unashamed but measured sax player, an architect of the solo, and a man with plenty to say, Bergonzi discovered the jazz greats – Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Lester Young – when he was just 8 years old. During the seventies he moved to New York and shared stages with colleagues like Joe Lovano, Bob Berg, Victor Lewis, Michael Brecker, Steve Grossman and John Scofield. In the eighties he returned to Boston and became a teacher for leading figures on the current jazz scene. During his long career he has been a sideman for Dave Brubeck and has recorded albums with Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Barron and Miles Davis himself. He is a jazz legend, a true master among masters. On this latest visit, he offers us his most rhythmic side, with Renato Chico on the Hammond organ, Andrea Michelutti on drums and the very special participation of the Valencian saxophonist Perico Sambeat.
