  • Bio

    ...... After having toured the world extensively next to the John Jorgenson Quintet, native argentinian Gonzalo Bergara is presenting his new CD Porteña Soledad with glowing reviews all over the world. ? Gonzalo began playing professionally at age 16 in Buenos Aires. By 17 he was already fronting his own blues trio on National Television. He arrived in America in the year 2000 and since then he has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists inlcuding Tim Hausser from Manhattan Transfer, Sylvie Vartan, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, John Jorgenson, Howard Alden and more. ?His new CD Porteña Soledad was editor’s Pick on Guitar Player Magazine, and Vintage Guitar Magazine called it a Masterpiece. The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet is formed by Gonzalo Bergara on Lead Acoustic Guitar, Jeffrey Radaich on Rhythm Guitar, Rob Hardt on Clarinet and Tenor Saxophone, and David Tranchina on Upright Bass. The music is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, all the traditional Jazz and hint of his native land Buenos Aires. "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is serious. And deeply moving." Gonzalo has performed all over the world inlcuding Croatia, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, England, Scotland and all of the US. Festivals such as The Montreal Jazz Fest, PLayboy Jazz Fest, Sweeta nd hot Jazz fest, Django Reinhardt Fest in Germany, Suev guitar fest in Italy, Merle Fest, Strawberry Fest, all fo the Django Fests in the US and lots lots more. .............. ...... ..Myspace Editor.... ..Pimp MySpace.. .... ........

    Sending FRIDAY LOVE and LAUGHS Gonzalo!
     
    A Lawyer in a Mousetrap  - They Left $$Cash$$ as Bait

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...

    How do you get a lawyer down from a tree?  Easy - just cut the rope."

    "It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."

    "How was copper wire invented?  Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."

    "How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  How many can you afford?"

    "The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."

    "How does a lawyer go to sleep at night?  Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."

    LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
