Dr. Alfred J. Gallodoro (born June 20, 1913)

At 94 1/2 years young Gallodoro continues to thrill his listeners with his impeccable musicianship and incredible mastery of his instruments. His admirers include more than just saxophone aficionados--he recently appeared twice at Cornell University 's Weill Medical College for concerts AND as the subject of an extensive interview on longevity and vitality.

TWO NEW RECORDINGS IN THE WORKS!

Gallodoro was called upon in April 2006 to perform George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the NYC Harmonie Ensemble under conductor Steven Richman. The Rhapsody in Blue is a piece for which he holds the distinction of a world’s record--over 10,000 performances throughout the 1930’s and 40’s with the “King of Jazz” Paul Whiteman. Mr. Richman's release of this Gallodoro 2006 performance of Rhapsody in Blue is now in the works, we will sent you a release date in a future e-mail! Also check Al's website www.algallodoro.com for a preview of Al's soon to be released new CD: Moment in Time (Birmingham Live 1969). You will be treated to a melodically dazzling evening of saxophone and clarinet.
