Some of the most popular archived articles on this site are those about Bobby Dukoff, and specifically those about his mouthpieces. One thing that I have not done to date however, is include an article that includes an example of Dukoff’s own playing style.<\/p>\n

Many of us who use his mouthpieces do so because we are looking for a particular kind of edgy<\/em>, yet full and rich sound. Once mastered, Dukoff mouthpieces allow players to achieve a wide variety of tonal palettes. That being said, how many of us know what Bobby Dukoff, the tenor sax player, sounded like himself?<\/p>\n

I am currently researching an article on Bobby Dukoff, which will explore some parts of his life that we don’t commonly read about. I am working together with one of his family members to bring a bit of the rich history of Dukoff’s legacy to life. My goal is to present a new, or at least a different take, on his lifelong musical journey.<\/p>\n

Bobby Dukoff: the recording artist<\/h2>\n

Bobby Dukoff released a number of solo albums after the big band era ended. I have yet to find an official discography on the man, but the Dukoff mouthpiece website<\/a> shows these five:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Pure Sax<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Swingy Saxy Sound<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Sax In Silk<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Sax In Satin<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Tender Sax<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Discogs<\/a> sites adds the following album to the list:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Off The Cuff<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It is from the Off The Cuff<\/em> album, released in 1958, that I offer up for your listening pleasure: You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me.

      No, the recording is not a perfectly remastered digital version of the original analog. It is indeed a vinyl LP with some scratches. If you like Bobby Dukoff’s playing, I encourage you to buy some of his music in whatever form you now buy your music in. Yes, you can find it on Apple Music<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n
