George Garzone, saxophone

A powerful tenor saxophonist whose adventurous flights with his longtime  band the Fringe have made him a legend in the Boston area,where he has spent most of his life as a jazz educator.

He began on the tenor when he was six, played in a family band and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. Garzone first formed his trio the Fringe (a group that in the mid-'90s also included founding member Bob Gullotti on drums and bassist John Lockwood ) back in 1972.

A Boston regular, Garzone has recently made New York his residence. A veteran jazzman, he has appeared on over 20 recordingsand his recent NYC Records album, "The Fringe - Live in New York"  is now available. Garzones CD "Fours and Two's," with  Joe Lovano earned him four stars in Downbeat magazine. 

Performances with The Fringe, Kenny Barron, Harvie Swartz, Dan Gottlieb, John Pattitucci, Bill Stewart, Tom Harrell, Don Alias, Danilo  Perez, Lenny White, Mike Mainieri, Joe Lovano, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Gary Peacock, Dennis Chambers, Anton Fig, Cecil McBee, Dave Holland, Matthias Lupri,  Bob Moses, and Dave Liebman.
