Bobby Porcelli - Alto Saxophonist Supreme!

Joffewoodwinds.com interviews the great Bobby Porcelli, a legend in the Latin/Jazz field and a hero to NY Saxophonists over the past 50 years. Bobby's honesty and self-effacing qualities come through here as well as his unique and beautiful sound on the audio clips inserted. I think you'll agree after hearing him play why he is considered the Chairman of the Board of NY alto sax players.

For me, Bobby is the GOLD STANDARD. My time working with him with Mongo, Puente, the Bronx Horns and on my band has always been a joyful experience.

I loved Bobby's playing. Saw him several times with Tito, and a couple times with TS Monk. As you said Ed, players like Bobby were known in NYC, but he is a gem of player. Loved his sound, phrasing and copied many of his lines. Great interview Ed

Thank you Mr. Joffe, for this insightful and inspiring interview. And thank you Mr. Porcelli for your beautiful contributions to the music of our planet.
I’ve watched several of your videos Mr. Joffe and I believe they should become part of the standard syllabus for students of woodwind playing. You have the knack of getting your interview subjects to speak candidly of their experience. And as a skilled musician yourself, you know where the heart of the issues are.
Again, many thanks to you and Mr.Porcelli, I loved every minute of this interview, and look forward to the next.
