Introducing Baritone Saxophonist Evan Gongora

Read "Introducing Baritone Saxophonist Evan Gongora" reviewed by Sanford Josephson


This article first appeared in Jersey Jazz Magazine. Evan Gongora's father, Oscar, is a classical saxophonist and Founder and Director of The Vitral Saxophone Quartet. “So," recalled the 18-year-old Evan, “he put a saxophone in my mouth at a very early age." Evan “fell in love with the baritone saxophone. I loved the sound. I always listened for all the low sounds, songs built on the low notes of the chords. It really blends everything together."
