Undoubtedly, one of the most versatile contemporary saxophonists on the jazz scene is Dino Govoni.
Govoni studied with two tenor sax greats, Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone, and furthered his studies by attending Berklee College of Music. He later studied with with the legendary Joe Viola.

Right out of college Govoni went on the road with a variety of musical outfits, playing and/or recording with such diverse artists as Grover Washington Jr., Randy Brecker, Queen Latifah, Ben Folds, Melinda Doolittle, 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, Govoni issued his debut album, “Breakin' Out”, on the Whaling City Sound label.
This was followed up with his CD “In the Library” the following year.

In 2016 Dino released another recording on the Whaling City Sound label, “Chance Meeting”. This recording featured drum great Adam Nussbaum, guitarist Jay Azzolina and bassist Dave Zinno.

Dino finished a new recording featuring the great Jeff “Tain” Watts on drums, Alex Sipiagin on trumpet, Henry Hey on piano and Mike Pope on bass. This was released on the Whaling City Sound label later in 2020.

Govoni is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music and is a highly respected clinician and guest artist.
Dino is a Yamaha Performing Artist/Clinician and plays Yamaha saxophones and flutes exclusively.
