The Professor of Sax is back. Fresh from another world tour where he played with musicians in Cape Town, South Africa, Dr. David Borgo of UCSD will entertain us with jazz standards and originals. Dr. Borgo never fails to exceed our expectations and the music his trio produces just gets better every year.

Borgo's music splashes all over the jazz spectrum, from swing to free... [He] has a lovely warm tone on tenor sax and a gracious one on soprano.
