His passionate improvisations are marked by a consistency of strength in every register and a penchant for harmonic development." Bill Milkowski Downbeat Review

Apparently Jerry is as an insightful teacher who is adept at conveying musical ideas. Not all world-class players are equally gifted as instructors.
I now miss having lessons!!! Please, keep doing those great videos!
Jerry is the man!
These are such simple but brilliant ideas.
this so beautiful. really brings out the beauty of the starting note and the rich tenor of the tenor horn:)
He is the best, the great Jerry
This might be the spark I was looking for to inspire my practice this month. So simple and so effective!
What a brilliant little lesson.
Very nice and effective stuff. Thank you very much.
Bergonzi is a Great teacher!
Great leaps! Great exercise!
Lovely! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this awesome idea.
I like this!!
great lesson!
That was great. It shows that even a very simple concept can still sound jazzy! I play guitar, and I will definitely be using this concept!
Thanks for some new ideas. I am looking ar Hanon and some of the other classical styles to apply to my jazz licks.
Love the idea of space.

Jerry is the real deal for next level
great lesson.
Since I had the chance to study with Jerry through my time in Boston in the beginning 80s I'm a fan of his teaching! Besides this - he is a fantastic player
