Joseph Salvatore Lovano (born December 29, 1952) is an American jazz saxophonist, alto clarinetist, tarogatoist, flautist, and drummer. He has earned a Grammy Award and several mentions on Down Beat magazine’s critics’ and readers’ polls. He is married to jazz singer Judi Silvano with whom he records and performs. Lovano was a longtime member of a trio led by drummer Paul Motian.
In the mid 1980s Lovano began working in a quartet with John Scofield and in a trio with Bill Frisell and Paul Motian. In 1993, he played on the album Anything Went by guitarist Bill DeArango, a native of Cleveland. In the late 1990s, he formed the Saxophone Summit with Dave Liebman and Michael Brecker (later replaced by Ravi Coltrane). Streams of Expression (2006) was a tribute to both cool jazz and free jazz. Lovano and pianist Hank Jones released an album together in June 2007, entitled Kids. He played the tenor saxophone on the 2007 McCoy Tyner album Quartet.
Lovano has taught at the Berklee College of Music. He taught Jeff Coffin after Coffin was given a NEA Jazz Studies Grant in 1991.
Downbeat magazine gave its Jazz Album of the Year Award to Lovano for Quartets: Live at the Village Vanguard.
We introduced our new Corpus Budapest model for the audience’s greatest pleasure.
The maple body accentuates the unique tarogato sound while the new internal bore improves the intonation. Less mechanics but still every sound is clearly playable. The beautiful lacquering emphasizes the wood’s pattern.
It is simply fabulous to play on my newly designed Golden Voice Stowasser J. Tarogato! I am so excited and proud to have taken part in its design and development! Stowasser J. tone, timbre, intervallic control and technical superiority – and pretty much everything else, compared to anything similar I have ever test tried – is a truly ground-breaking experience! Golden key-work is aesthetically an embellishing touch, but sure enough, the golden posts on Cocobolo wooden body contribute measurably to the sound-warmth and wide-open timbre tone properties.
