Tonight I went to the Press Room in Portsmouth to see a quartet led by saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi. Accompanying him were Phil Grenedier on trumpet, Bruce Gertz on bass and Brooke Sofferman on drums.

I knew that I had been away from writing for sometime but I was absolutely amazed to see that it has been well over a year since my last posting. In my defense, the last entry coincided with my starting a new job. With that job I have had the opportunity to travel around the country and spend a 2 week vacation in Iberia. My co-workers and I have weathered an unprecedented storm of demand for the product that we create and we are currently training a whole new generation of workers to keep up with demand. That being said, I am eager to get back to writing. I shall begin with what is perhaps my favorite subject: Jazz.
