The Bari Players: Great Jazz and Pop Baritonists, including a few you may not have heard of...Most saxophonists, when posed the question “Who are the great bari players in jazz and pop music,” will rattle off a list of the usual suspects: Carney, Mulligan, Chaloff, Pepper Adams, Nick Brignola, maybe Leo Parker and Cecil Payne. More knowledgeable baritone enthusiasts will include Surman, Bluiett, Cuber, Smulyan, perhaps Sahib Shihab, Ronnie Ross and a few others. As baritone saxophonist Jon Gudmundson discovered while researching his book, The Bari Players, there is, in fact, a whole universe of fine baritone saxophonists in jazz and pop, covering a staggering breadth of styles, and more and more players are taking up the big horn every day. In this lecture, a number of very fine baritonists will be presented, including some lesser-known “talent deserving wider recognition,” and quite possibly you will come away with e few new favorite players whom you will want to further investigate. |
