About the Artist
AMG BIO: One of the most versatile saxophonists to come up in recent times is undoubtedly Dino Govoni. Govoni learned from two tenor sax greats, Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone, and soonafter furthered his studies by attending Berklee College of Music. Govoni hit the road right away with a wide variety of musical outfits, playing and/or recording with such a diverse array of artists as Grover Washington, Jr., Randy Brecker, Terence Trent D'Arby, Robben Ford, Mel Tormé, The Manhattan Transfer, The Boston Pops, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, The John Allmark Jazz Orchestra, Frankie Valle, and Englebert Humperdinck, among others. May of 2000 saw Govoni participating in Arista Records' star studded 25th Anniversary concert, playing with Aretha Franklin in New York City. A year later, Govoni issued his debut album, 'Breakin' Out,' on the Whaling City Sound label. In addition to playing with others, Govoni is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music (as an Assistant Professor of Woodwinds), and teaches students privately, as well. — Greg Prato, All Music Guide.com
