Tenor Legacy: Jazz Musician in New York

About Tenor Legacy

Tenor Legacy is a jazz project heard in New York City at Dizzy’s Club, built around the idea of tracing the tenor saxophone’s line of influence. The name tips its hat to Benny Golson’s late-1990s concept album that mapped a set of tunes to major tenor voices. In performance, Tenor Legacy frames each selection as a portrait, pairing repertoire with brief historical context. When joined by veteran reedman Lew Tabackin, the group favors clear phrasing over display.
