Med udgivelserne “7th Ray” og “Dog Star”(begge på amerikanske Savant records) cementerer Winther/Åman/Mogensen deres samarbejde med saxofon mesteren Jerry Bergonzi.
Deres samarbejde har strukket sig over de sidste 7-8 år, og har resulteret i turneer i USA, Kina og Europa. Jerry Bergonzi åbnede i oktober 2018 Hong Kong Jazzfestival og Juhan Jazzfestival, Kina. Samarbejdet med den nordiske rytmegruppe, som nu er en del af fast Jerry Bergonzi Quartet betegner Jerry som:”Love from first chord”.
(English)
Few saxophone players today trace the lineage from John Coltrane to today’s modern jazz scene as clearly American saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi.
Now aged 72, but playing as strong as ever, the tenor giant rejoins The Modern Jazz Trio for Straight Gonz, their 6th album together.
For more than a decade this Nordic supergroup has toured internationally in collaboration with star soloists including Dave Liebman, Tim Hagans & George Garzone.
This latest outing was captured live at Denmark’s Dexter Jazz Club and showcases 4 Bergonzi originals alongside two timeless jazz standards: Cole Porter’s All of You and Johnny Green’s Body and Soul.
Bergonzi joined Dave Brubeck’s Quartet almost 50 years ago and, in the following years, has played on most of the world’s biggest stages and recorded for renowned labels including Blue Note & Atlantic Records.
As one of the original modern jazz educators, his series of books - Inside Improvisation - have inspired a generation of players and this mix of authentic jazz tradition and modern jazz methodology is on full display on Straight Gonz.
Piano wizard Carl Winther belongs to the brightest stars at he European jazz scene. Besides an
amazing piano player Carl is also an accomplished composer.
Johnny Åman, born in Finland but now a resident of Malmø, Sweden, is a number one choice bassist on the Swedish and Finnish jazzscene and has won a Juno Award with the band The North.
Drummer Anders Mogensen has been part of the established European jazzscene for more than 30 years. He has received Grammys in countries such as Norway, Denmark and Canada.
