Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Bob Berg was a favorite of audiences and fellow musicians, who could often be found in the audience at his gigs. Having played with MIles Davis, Chick Corea, Horace Silver and many other legends, Bob went on to lead his own groups in dynamic music that bridged the divide between straight ahead and contemporary jazz. Bob Berg was killed in a tragic car accident in 2002, abruptly ending a career that was still decidedly on the ascent.

5 out of 5 stars Tenor Sax pride of New York City.......2005-12-28

I had the privilege, pleasure and honor to hear Bob play live many times in Manhattan, and it was always, least to say special. Bob was a unique musician, composer and master saxophone player in many ways. He would always play with huge energy, and give his heart and soul to the performance. He was a favorite among his piers, and the last gig I saw him playing, with Kikoski on the piano, Genus on the bass, and Chambers on drums just about ten years ago, a large number of the jam packed house at the old Sweet Basil jazz club on Seventh Ave. South in NYC was comprised of musicians. Michael Brecker was there listening to the music, and admiring his friend, among others...!
This is a great tribute, with an excellent song selection, and I highly reccomend it for anyone who want's to hear awesome, and inspiring tenor sax playing...
Bless you Mr. Berg, you will never be forgotten!
