Dino Govoni is undoubtably one of today's most versatile saxophonists. He learned from two tenor sax greats, Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone, and furthered his studies by attending the Berklee College of Music soon after studying with the great Joe Viola. Govoni then hit the ground running, playing and/or recording with a variety of diverse musical outfits, to include Grover Washington Jr., Randy Brecker, Terence Trent D'Arby, Robben Ford, Mel Tormé, the Manhattan Transfer, the Boston Pops, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Frankie Valli, 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, he issued his debut album, "Breakin' Out," on the Whaling City Sound label. The following year he released "In the Library." A third recording," Chance Meeting," featuring drum great Adam Nussbaum, guitarist Jay Azzolina and bassist Dave Zinno, was released in September, 2016 on the Whaling City Sound label.
Dino is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music and is available for clinics/concerts. He is a Yamaha Performing Artist.
