Jerry Bergonzi has long been one of the top tenor saxophonists of his generation, though too many critics have typically overlooked his work in favor of major-label stylists on his instrument. Joined by a fine rhythm section, including pianist Renato Chicco, bassist Dave Santoro, and drummer Andrea Michelutti (all of whom are worthy of wider recognition as well), Bergonzi also takes advantage of his first date for Savant to feature his considerable skills as a composer. His robust approach to tenor is immediately apparent in his catchy "Acookarache," a powerful post-bop vehicle with a Latin undercurrent. "Bob Berg" is a driving midtempo tribute to its namesake, a fine tenor saxophonist who died in a tragic holiday traffic accident a few years prior to this session. Also enjoyable is "Stumbelina," a quirky, playful theme that the musicians interpret flawlessly. The leader's rapid-fire "Skull Shining" is a wild roller coaster anthem that seems like a natural piece to expand for a larger ensemble. The one standard of the date is a snappy treatment of "You're My Everything." This rewarding effort is well worth acquiring. ~ Ken Dryden

4 stars An apt title "Tenor of The Times" indeed!
During another generation this cat would be the Clifford Jordan or Booker Ervin of that era.Bergonzi is an ernest capable player who like Ervin and Jordan is well deserving of more attention.He is hard swinging and a convincing balladeer.The main selling point of this disc is Bergonzi s relaxed and to the point phrasing. Amongst all the multitude of jazz this is well worth a listen.

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," ...

This double-CD set is not only the best of Bill Chase's output but -- comprising all three of their albums -- virtually their complete finished studio work, before the plane crash that killed Chase and much of the group. The mastering on this Wounded Bird reissue is excellent, with a full solid bass sound topped by soaring highs on the brass and no compression to speak of. It's not as though this catalog has been overused, in terms of its master tape library -- apart from the hit "Get It On" -- but it's still good to know that the stuff has been well handled in terms of being digitalized. Additionally, the producers have reprinted Nat Hentoff's original essay about the group from their first album (and oh, for a time when college audiences could resonate to the writings of someone like Hentoff, who is now as much of a legend as a writer as the jazz people he wrote about are as musicians....); and they've also ...

Breakfast At Tiffany's CD  (1961) Original Soundtrack

Tenor Of The Times CD music
CD $7.59  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded on December 8, 1960 and April 27, 1961. Originally released on RCA (2362). By 1961, film composer Henry Mancini was already well known in Hollywood for his jazzy, brassy scores to Touch of Evil and Peter Gunn. But it was this effervescent soundtrack for Blake Edwards' adaption of Truman Capote's wistful novella that propelled Mancini into the major league of Hollywood composers. Though there were other jazz-oriented arrangers working in Hollywood at the time, none possessed Mancini's imagination and skill in orchestration. (He was a veritable Berlioz in the way he cast instruments as characters in the story.) Only John Barry could ever match his gift for melody. The Oscar-winning "Moon River" is a case in point. Toots Thielemans' tremulous, lonely harmonica introduces the simple, near-folk ...

Recorded between 1954 and 1961. Includes liner notes by James Gavin. This unique and thoughtful compilation brings together four of the best tunes by four of the greatest female jazz singers in history. As a result, listeners may compare and contrast the exhuberant joy of Ella Fitzgerald's "A Tisket, A Tasket" and her virtuoso scat showcase "How High the Moon" with the roughened ache of Billie Holiday's voice in these mid-50s small-band versions of her signature tunes "God Bless the Child" and ...

Bunk Johnson In San Francisco CD  (1991)

Tenor Of The Times songs
CD $12.09
Were it not for the seven-song broadcast that opens the CD, this set would have received a much higher rating. The May 9, 1943 radio special should have been classic for it matched together trumpeter Bunk Johnson with trumpeter Mutt Carey, trombonist Kid Ory, clarinetist Wade Whaley, pianist Buster Wilson, guitarist Frank Pasley, bassist Ed Garland and drummer Everett Walsh. Unfortunately, Whaley is often way out of tune and he is overmiked, dominating the ensembles. Much of the time one can barely hear Bunk or Mutt although Johnson does have a nice solo on "Basin Street Blues." It is interesting to hear Ory a year before ...
