A major jazz bassist for the past 30 years and an important musical force in the Boston area, Bruce Gertz has taught at the Berklee College of Music since 1976.
He has a long resume of performances and recordings with major artists including Gary Burton, John Abercrombie, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Bill Frisell, Gil Evans, Jon Hendricks, Dave Brubeck and Joe Lovano among many others.
For his LiveStream of Feb. 6, 2021, Gertz formed a quartet with drummer Rafael Barata and two powerhouse tenor-saxophonists who also teach at Berklee: Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone.
Bruce Gertz’s post bop originals inspire heated playing with an emphasis on spontaneity at swinging tempos.
Since Bergonzi and Garzone mostly play in the Boston area, this performance gives viewers from other areas a rare chance to see the two masterful saxophonists, both of whom are heard at their best.

Review:
This is the two hundred twenty-third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
A hot five-voice a cappella group, Chelle’s Juke Joint is led by Michelle Jacques and also features Rhonda Crane, Jay Lamont, Tammi Brown and Bryan Dyer.
The New Orleans-style ensemble covers a lot of ground during their Feb. 04, 2021 LiveStream including a scat-filled “Diga Diga Doo,” some early rock & roll, a cooking swing/blues, romantic ballads, and lots of good-time music; all five singers make strong contributions to the spirited music.

From the book “Swing Under the Nazis” by Mike Zwerin.
In the middle of an interview, Miles Davis looked at the camera and said: “I’m no accident.”
I think that’s true of everyone who has achieved something great in music.
A little about the early years of Django Reinhardt. His achievements were no accident either.
