Jerry Bergonzi is a tenor saxophonist, composer, author and educator who was introduced to the world of jazz by one its legends – Dave Brubeck. In the 1970s, he toured with the Two Generations of Brubeck band that featured Dave and the three Brubeck sons we just saw at the library in January: Darius, Chris, and Dan. Later in that decade, he also held the sax chair in the Dave Brubeck Quartet. On the faculty of the New England Conservatory for the last 20 years, Jerry teaches improvisation in ensemble settings as well as one-on-one. He still plays two weekly gigs in the Boston area and tours 130 days a year playing his own music.

Harvie S is back in the Brubeck Room for his seventh performance - most recently last year with Alan Broadbent. Harvie is an award-winning bassist, educator, composer, arranger, and producer. He has played with many of the biggest names in jazz [thelist is too long to spell out] and has performed in a wide variety of jazz festivals around the globe as well as in such venues as The Blue Note, The,Iridium, and the Kennedy Center.

James Weidman was born into a musical family, learning jazz from his saxophonist-bandleading father at age 7 and by age 14 he was playing organ in his father's band. His roster of musical affiliations is staggering in depth and breadth and includes several NEA Jazz Masters, musical trailblazers, and great singers - relationships requiring both the skilled touch of an adept soloist as well as superior accompaniment expertise.

Jason Tiemann is a New York City-based jazz drummer, where he maintains a busy schedule as a freelance performer and educator. Admittedly drawing influence from the greats Philly Joe Jones, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and Billy Higgins, Tiemann is quickly forging his musical voice on the New York scene by fusing his depth of historical foundation with crisp technique and propulsive, intuitive swing.
