Rova Saxophone Quartet is an American, San Francisco–based saxophone quartet, formed in October 1977.^[1] The name "Rova" is an acronym formed from the last initials of the founding members: Jon Raskin [de], Larry Ochs, Andrew Voigt, and Bruce Ackley. When Voigt left in 1988, he was replaced by Steve Adams, but the group did not change the acronym.^[2]
