SAXOPHONISTS GARY SMULYAN AND FRANK BASILE - BOSS BARITONES!
Gary Smulyan and Frank Basile bring their two-baritone-saxophone collaboration to Scullers Jazz Club for an evening of swinging, straight-ahead hard bop. The program draws from their acclaimed *Boss Baritones* release on the Steeplechase label, combining the rich, powerful sound of two leading baritone saxophonists with a rhythm section featuring Tim Ray, Marshall Wood, and a drummer to be announced.
The performance is presented as joyful, invigorating jazz rooted in the hard-bop tradition. Reviewers have praised the project for making jazz practices associated with the mid-to-late 20th century feel fresh and immediate.
