An alumni of the legendary Berkeley Schools Jazz program created by Herb Wong, Phil Hardymon, and Dick Whittington, and a student of jazz great Joe Henderson, saxophonist and composer Dan Wilensky left Berkeley to tour with Ray Charles a week after graduating from high school. He subsequently won a NEA grant, toured and recorded with hundreds of artists, from Jack McDuff to David Bowie, and was featured in the Emmy-winning PBS children’s show, Between The Lions. He recently moved to Portland, Oregon after 30 years in New York City. Wilensky’s fifth recording as a leader, Made In Portland, was released in June, 2015.
