About the album

Jerry Bergonzi has been a saxophonist in great demand for quite some time, from his beginnings with Dave Brubeck until recently with John Abercrombie. He is also an enthusiastic teacher who fills his students with enthusiasm. In additional, he has also written several important textbooks , which are basic works for saxophone students today.
When he can be seen and heard in Europe, then he works with two musicians who are only known to connoisseurs . But Bergonzi knows exactly that they create an environment for him, which gives him all the freedom that a soloist needs in a small group without harmony instruments. And he proves with this "three-point shot" that he knows how to use this freedom in a unique and exciting way.
Jerry Bergonzi ist schon lange ein gefragter Saxophonist, von den Anf�ngen bei Dave Brubeck bis j�ngst mit John Abercrombie. Mindestens ebenso bedeutend ist sein Beitrag als Lehrer und Verfasser von wichtigen Lehrwerken (dt. erschienen bei Advance Music). Seit Jahren spielt er mit zwei polnischen Musikern im pianolosen Trio, eine Formation, bei der er seine kraftvollen Soli besonders zur Geltung bringen kann.

Piotr Lemanczyk has his own quartet project with Tim Hagans and plays in other bands alongside of Clarence Penn, Adam Pieronczyk and Jakob Dinesen. One remarkable feature of his is that he not only accompanies solidly and brilliantly, but that he also has an impressive understanding of melodies.

Jacek Kochan

Jacek Kochan, born in Poland, emigrated to America at the beginning of the 80s searching for personal and musical freedom.  He first lived in New York and took lessons from Jaco Pastorius and Mike Clark, among others. Then he moved to Canada where he continued his studies. His focus was not only on drums, percussion and vibraphone, but also further studies in the areas of composition and arrangement. During his time in Montreal, he played with Oliver Jones and Michael Donato, among others, and increasingly with Jerry Bergonzi, John Abercrombie, Kenny Wheeler and many more after he moved to Toronto in 1990. He finally returned to Poland in 1995 and has used his innumerable contacts since then to play concerts...

And not to forget, he is also a composer and arranger much in demand, including in contemporary classical and theater music. In addition, more than a dozen CDs have been produced with him as leader; the list of his sidemen includes names such as Gary Thomas, Jerry Bergonzi, Cuong Vu, Dave Tronzo, Greg Osby, Franz Hautzinger and more.
