“Over the past decade, Chris Bergson has become one of the most interesting blues–inspired songwriters,” wrote The Blues Magazine of Great Britain. “He describes the streetscapes and nightscapes of city life, painting small, memorable pictures, a kind of Edward Hopper of the blues. Bergson doesn't do predictable, but there's a visible thread of blues awareness running through the fabric of everything he writes, sings and plays: he is a concise and subtle guitarist and tough, grainy singer.” Jazz Standard is pleased to welcome back the Chris Bergson Band in an expanded lineup that includes saxophonists Jay Collins and Chris Karlic and vocalist Ellis Hooks.
