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.

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.

The new release from Charles Evans has hit stores, go check out “On Beauty”! Also check out the video with some samples of the music and interview with Dave Liebman, who also plays on the album.

We’d like to thank Alec Trent once again for sending in a new transcription. This time its Nick Brignola playing the classic standard “Star Eyes”. Head on over to the transcription repository and check it out!
