“I’m not the master of the saxophone, George Garzone is.”
—Michael Brecker
Saxophonist George Garzone is a member of The Fringe, a jazz trio founded in 1972. The band included bassist John Lockwood and drummer Bob Gullotti until 2020, and Francisco Mela since then on the drums. The Fringe performs regularly in the Boston and New York area and has toured around the world for many years. A veteran jazzman, George Garzone has appeared on over 20 recordings.
He has toured and performed Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Danilo Perez, Joe Lovano, Jack DeJohnette, Rachel Z, Peter Erskine and John Patitucci among others.
Garzone is a sought-after jazz educator, currently teaching at the Berklee College of Music. He has also previously taught at New England Conservatory, Longy School of Music, New York University, Manhattan School of Music, Northeastern University and the New School University.
The Masterclass will run from 12 - 3pm, is open to all instrumentalists and will focus on Garzone's “Triadic Chromatic Approach”, an improvisation concept he pioneered and which has his own signature in the jazz improvisation vocabulary.
