Jerry Bergonzi is a long-established master of extracting maximum artistry with a minimum of fuss, which masks the fact that there is nothing simple about either the contents or the execution of the music he makes. Muscular, bustling and driven his playing may sound, but there is a profound musical mind behind it. Above all, his playing is utterly spontaneous and distinctive. And it is distinctive spontaneity that reigns supreme on By Any Other Name. Featuring Phil Grenadier on trumpet in the front line, hear what the local papers called, "the most powerful band to come out of Boston."

"With the support of bassist Will Slater and Armenian drummer Karen Kocharyan, Bergonzi and the boldly expressive Grenadier provide textbook improvising."
