"I had the extreme honor and pleasure of being involved with the development of this incredible mouthpiece. It offers me a mouthpiece that has extreme control, volume and response with the tonal quality that I've been looking for. It has a bit of the Steve Grossman "center" in the sound with much greater playing ease and evenness than any Link I've ever owned or played. If you are looking for a great Link "like" mouthpiece without all of the headaches involved with making a Link play, try the JodyJazz DV NY. Im sure you'll love this mouthpiece just as much as I do! Smoking!"

In my opinion there is no one playing more tenor than Dino Govoni. That's why I'm thrilled that he l oves the new ESP Tenor mouthpiece. Dino is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music in Boston, as an Assistant Professor of Woodwinds, and lives in New York just outside of Manhattan, where he also teaches. "Breakin' Out" is his debut CD as a leader and his second CD, "In the Library" was released in September of 2002. You can hear both CD's at www.dinogovoni.com.

He's played and/or recorded with Eddie Gomez, Grover Washington, Jr., George Garzone, Jerry Bergonzi, Arturo Sandoval, Bob Mintzer, Bill Watrous, Billy Hart, Larry Goldings, Claudio Roditi, Nick Brignola, Randy Brecker, Steve Marcus, Steve Houghton, Jeffrey Osborne, Al Jarreau, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Clark Terry, Henry Hey, Terence Trent D'Arby, Robben Ford, Mel Tormé, The Manhattan Transfer, The Boston Pops, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Frankie Valle, Englebert Humperdinck, The Bucketheads, and more....
