Brian Dickinson and Jerry Bergonzi meet in Soul Mission , a record recorded in 2002 and released by Dodicilune records . A non-leading but indispensable players in this musical dialogue are Jim Vivian's double bass and Ted Warren's drums , the rhythmic section of the Dickinsonquartet . Bergonzi and Dickinson share the music. Four original compositions each, almost of the same duration, the same number of solos, but a more precious presence of the saxofonosta professor. Jerry Bergonzi In fact, it offers a lesson in sax, improvisation, cleanliness and roundness; his notes come down precise, they roll like perfect spheres to highlight, again, the possession of a sublime technique and a closeness admired by the sound, however inimitable, of Coltrane. 

In the composition of both dominates the tradition, the elegance of a jazz that we have the need to define as classic, the exception is the energetic Crazy makers signed by Dickinson in which Vivian and Warren are in the foreground . Attention returns to the piano and sax immediately after, in Tribute di Bergonzi , for the closure of this work. The lesson is over the spherical notes drawn by the fingers and the breath are still, immobile like a " soul " listening. ~ Alessandro Armando for JazzItalia http://www.jazzitalia.net/recensioni/soulmission.asp#.XIuyMiJKiUl
