In addition to collaborating on acclaimed recordings… Show more such as Trio Fascination: Edition Two and John Zorn’s Stolas, Lovano and Douglas were co-leaders of the renowned SFJAZZ Collective in 2008, showcasing arrangements of jazz icon Wayne Shorter. The experience led the two instrumentalists to assemble this all-star quintet for a national tour.

He has recorded 22 albums for Blue Note Records in 20 years, and is a member of the dynamic young jazz ensemble Us Five, which also features bassist Esperanza Spalding. In 2010, Lovano was awarded the Jazz Journalists Association’s Musician and Tenor Saxophonist of the Year and DownBeat’s Jazz Artist and Tenor Saxophonist of the Year.
