renowned tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi will be joining our ensembles on Monday May 8th at the Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale for a free performance that is open to the public. “Jerry Bergonzi is a fantastic saxophonist and truly understands jazz at its core. We are thrilled that he will be working with our students and performing with them as well. This is such a unique opportunity for Young Sounds members”, said Director Andrew Gross.
The weekend will include a Master Class with Bergonzi that is also free and open to the public. “We love the idea of providing the opportunity to learn from Mr. Bergonzi to jazz students throughout the valley”, stated Gross. “Music is about community and this is a great opportunity for the community to come together and engage in jazz”. Each year Young Sounds invites a guest artist to work with the students in an effort to broaden their understanding of jazz and give them the experience of studying and performing with professional musicians. The guest artist program has become a favorite among Young Sounds’ members....
