Sad news. RIP Andrew Carrico

Seattle native and Baritone saxophonist Andrew Carrico passed away Tuesday morning.  The baritone community has lost a beautiful musician. Last I heard him a couple years back he had really found his sound. It’s sad that we won’t hear his later musical destinations. Too soon, & too young. Rest in peace, Andrew.

Howard Johnson featured in a TV commercial!

Any one over the age of 25 might remember seeing this commercial on tv from the 80’s. It is a Miller Lite commercial featuring baritone saxophonist Howard Johnson! Jazz, 80’s, baritone saxophone, what more could you want? Howard is definitely a syncopater of progressive riffs.

PS – JazzBariSax.com does not endorse Miller Lite, or beer in general for that matter.

UPDATE – December 2013, found a print ad for this campaign:
