A MOMENT IN TIME

The Southern flair, credited to Al Gallodoro's Birmingham and New Orleans roots and the Mediterranean influence of his Sicilian heritage gives this 1969 live performance a unique spark.  At the pinnacle of clarinet technique, Gallodoro achieves a seemingly impossible flow of double and triple tonguing, with phrasing that is embellished in a highly ornate, yet understandable style.  This melodically dazzling evening on saxophone and clarinet will engage the listener with its jazz standards as well as ethnic pieces.

The goal of this CD is to bring the lyrical sound of the saxophone back to mainstream jazz. Over 70 years ago, Al Gallodoro developed his unique sound from emulating the human voice.

LIVE EVENTS

FULL SCHEDULE

 In his dying days, Al became a delicate piece of lace,

Translucent and beautiful.

So fine that he could only bear to hear God’s gentlest music.

In the painful emotions of his life's end,

There was also a great radiance.

And, a confirmation that we too aren't going to live forever.

 

His irresistible invitation to living life

to the fullest presents itself.

Grieving is our poignant reminder to accept this invitation.

Living each day as if it were his last,

And as if he was going to live forever,

"Infinite Gallodoro" kept the circle unbroken.

Did you know that Al performed more on-the-air solos than any other performer in the history of radio???
