Saxofonist

Jerry Bergonzi knows all about the struggles that used to face aspiring jazz musicians. The Boston native withdrew from the liberal arts college he was attending after being continually thrown out of practice rooms “so somebody serious about music” could use the space. The young saxophonist also found that many veterans of the period were not inclined to mentor newcomers. “Back then, if somebody knew, they weren’t going to tell you,” he recalls. “`Learn tunes’ and `listen to records’ was the rule. I had to figure it out myself, beginning with studying the bebop language, then expanding from there.”
