Chuck Bergeron



“Cause and Effect is filled with rewarding sounds and emotional hues - handsome harmonies, inviting fresh melodies, vibrant solos, intriguing rhythmic attitudes . . . and more! The Cause is clear and the Effect is inspiring.” Dr. Herb Wong

“Bergeron showcases his manicured compositional talents as well as his strong melodic sense as a soloist.” Jazztimes Magazine “Bergeron demonstrates an allegiance to the late irascible Charles Mingus. His sense of craftsmanship is serious; his direction ever forward.” Earshot Jazz “This is the most tightly rehearsed band I have heard in ages . . . an excellent recording.” 5/4 Magazine “This record is a killer! . . . The cream rises to the top! . . . a cookin' record!” The Gavin Report “Bergeron shows his versatility by writing and performing in a variety of styles, never straying very far from the mainstream . . . there is an impressive consistency to the performances. His playing never stops driving the music forward . . . this music consistently has a positive spirit that suffuses this recommended CD.” Cadence Magazine

“Compositions are indeed the focus on the second solo effort by Bergeron, fast becoming one of the instrument’s finest writers and most vibrant leaders. While tracks like the eloquent Emerald Anthem display jazz standard potential, Bergeron’s room-shaking, bluesy solo on Last Call prevents any possible overlook of his considerable playing skills.” Bass Player Magazine “Bergeron . . . satisfying as both a player and composer.” Bassics Magazine “Bassist Bergeron leads a changing cast and offers a lyrical post-bop mainstream sound . . . supported by a strong rhythm section anchored by the steady Bergeron. A solid release.” IAJE Journal
