Jerry Bergonzis style is often compared to John Coltrane, yet Joe Lovano may
provide an even stronger frame of reference. Bergonzi sometimes teeters on a
ledge between modern jazz and the avant garde, forming an individual style, yet
not showcasing a musical voice marked by convincing emotion. On Again is a solid
effort, including ten of Bergonzis own compositions and featuring sidemen Mick
Goodrick on guitar and a rhythm section of Bruce Gertz (bass) and Adam Nussbaum
(drums). Blue Bru and Gabriella are each pretty pieces, as is the gentle swinger
The Bat. The pulsing On Again Off Again is interesting, and Bergonzis solo
builds some effective tension and release. Conversely, it is difficult to tell
in which direction either Exsqueese Me Please or Gecko Plex is going, and upon
subsequent spins, the hungry listener may overall be left wanting a more
emotionally satisfying approach.
