He has been teaching hundreds of local children and adults how to play the saxophone at the John Payne Music Center in Brookline over the past 30 years.
The Saxophone Choir—an outgrowth of the Music Center—has allowed hundreds of Payne's saxophone students to hone their skills through live performance at some of the area's big jazz clubs. This concert is a reunion of 35 of these players. The choir is led by sax player and teacher Duncan Martin.
The concert is part of hundreds of concerts taking place in the greater Boston area during JazzWeek 11.
