One of the most versatile contemporary saxophonists is undoubtedly Dino Govoni.

Govoni learned from two tenor sax greats, Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone, and furthered his studies by attending Berklee College of Music, studying with the late, great Joe Viola. Govoni hit the road right away with a variety of musical outfits, playing and/or recording with such diverse artists as Grover Washington Jr., Randy Brecker, Eddie Gomez, Billy Hart, Terri Lyne Carrington, Larry Goldings, Bill Stewart, Arturo Sandoval, Cindy Blackman, Oscar Stagnaro, Mark Walker, Joe Beck, Jason Miles, Prassana, Terence Trent D'Arby, Mike Clark, Robben Ford, Tom Brechtlein, Ed Spargo, Mel Torme, the Manhattan Transfer, the Boston Pops, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, the John Allmark Jazz Orchestra, and Frankie Valli, among others.May of 2000 saw Govoni participating in Arista Records' star-studded 25th anniversary concert, playing with Aretha Franklin in New York City.

A year later, Govoni issued his debut album, Breakin' Out, on the Whaling City Sound label. This was followed up with his CD In the Library the following year.

In 2016 Dino released another recording on the Whaling City Sound label, Chance Meeting. This recording featured drum great Adam Nussbaum, guitarist Jay Azzolina and bassist Dave Zinno.

Dino finished a new recording featuring the great Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums, Alex Sipiagin on trumpet, Henry Hey on piano and Mike Pope on bass. This was released on the Whaling City Sound label later in 2020.

Govoni is currently on the faculty at Berklee College of Music and is a highly respected clinician and guest artist.
