Boston doesn't get enough credit as a jazz town. From the days of
the Storyville club to the Berklee College of Music, the city has
a rich history. One big part of that history is saxophonist Jerry
Bergonzi who here leads his most Bostonian band in recent memory,
with trumpeter Phil Grenadier and drummer Luther Gray. Guitarist
Sheryl Bailey completes the Boston connection with her position in
Berklee's legendary Guitar Department, while Bergonzi's old
friend, bassist Harvie S, came up from New York for the gig. With
an imaginative set list of mostly Bergonzi originals, this
compelling album is yet another feather in Boston's tricorn hat.
