A reader and fellow baritone saxophonist, Larry Dickson, recently sent us a copy of his new album, “Second Springtime”. Larry seems to have a vast knowledge of the baritone saxophone and its various practitioners and it shows through the varied song selection on the album. There is everything from original music, to a Pepper Adams composition, some Ellington, and even a beautiful ballad that you may have heard Mulligan and co perform on the album “What Is There to Say?”.

Definitely worth a listen from all fans of the baritone saxophone. Its available on Larry’s CD Baby page.

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 another Gerry Mulligan transcription. This time on the jazz standard “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You”. Head to the transcriptions page to check it out!

We have just posted our second Scott Robinson transcription to the transcription repository! We’d like to thank Ian Cooper of the US Navy Jazz Bands for sending this one in.

Incidentally both Scott Robinson transcriptions are from a suite entitled “New Works Celebration” on a Bob Brookmeyer album, “New Works” with the New Art Orchestra. This suite was originally written for Gerry Mulligan, but he passed away shortly before the recording and Scott stepped in, doing a beautiful job. I hear there is a bootleg recording out there somewhere that has Mulligan performing it live.

This album is definitely worth checking out for any enthusiast of the baritone sax.
