Saxophonist Don Aliquo Interviewed at AAJ

Geography is a central theme in the life and artistry of Pittsburgh's native son, Don Aliquo. The saxophonist, educator and bandleader is part of a rich steel town jazz lineage which includes his father, Don Aliquo Sr., a performing artist and teacher in his own right. There is also a metaphorical geography, in which Aliquo covers virtually all aspects of the Jazz experience, from daunting mainstream swing to edgy, modernistic genres.

AAJ Contributor Ludwig van Trikt spoke with Aliquo about his latest CD, Affinity Trio (Affinity, 2010), the value of a classical education, and much more.
