Congratulations to Gary Smulyan and all of the other baritone saxophonists listed in this year’s Downbeat Readers Poll!

Have you been to a Starbucks recently? If so, you might have heard baritone saxophonist, and recent Downbeat rising star winner Brian Landrus’ music while you were there. Let us know in the comments below if you heard him there.

Baritone saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Brian Landrus has recently released a new album titled “The Deep Below”. It features him on the low range of woodwinds, baritone sax, bass sax, bass clarinet and bass flute. This release comes shortly after Brian’s tie with Chris Cheek for Rising Star in the Downbeat Critic Polls.

Definitely an album worth giving some attention to. Check it out on amazon!

Francesco Badaloni has been kind enough to send in another Gerry Mulligan transcription. This time on the song “Trouble In Mind” from a very interesting album, “Witherspoon Mulligan Webster At The Renaissance” with Jimmy Witherspoon and Ben Webster. Head over to the Transcriptions page to check it out.

Thanks to Francesco Badaloni we have posted a new Gerry Mulligan transcription to the repository. This one is on ‘Lonesome Boulevard’. Head on over and check it out!
