Let's not forget leo Parker on baritone so soulfull Leo's playing was.
Coming to think of it, the omission in this series is Leo Parker. He was somewhat ignored in his day, but his recordings do put him among the best baritones over.
Huh?! This list means nothing without Leo Parker on it!! How could you forget him?
Leo Parker is an ordinary barit. sax. , as the overatted Cecil Payne, a kind of show-off crook who had a little sound and who played out of tune
@@Thouveninpascal Aint NOTHING ordinary about the first real bebop baritone sax player!!🤣🤣
That sound from Joe Temperley is always so delicate and elegant.
Sahib Shhab definitely belogs here also. Very original! Btw love all the choices here, too.🙂
The most amazing thing here noone is talking about is Harry Carney plays then right after him is Joe Temperly playing Harry Carney's actual saxophone with a completely different sound😁!!
Nice compilation, there are a few more, as noted, but this is a good list to get folks started.
I love the Bari Sax. Even I was in highschool we played caravan. We started it off with a bari into. Brilliant!
What was left out was Leo Parker and James Carter. They are bound to leave some out. I have a recording where Leo Parker plays a blues like BIRD, then after the piano solo Parker plays like a Lester Young solo, it's a classic solo. James Carter has some great Idea's and tone. As much as I like the hard tone, Mulligans playing shows off the different note tones better. too hard, the notes sound all alike. Pepper Adams my first love, then Nick Brignola has some of the best idea's on the Bari. Ronnie Cuber plays simpler, and is very pleasing to my ears. If one of those guys play a lot of notes, it better be good, our don't waste the listers time. Simple is good too, and may say more than a flurry of notes. Coltrane made a recording with Cecil Paine & Pepper Adams, check it out.
James Carter... the Mariah Carey of the saxophone
I feared for a while that Serge Chaloff had been overlooked, but he crowned this line of baritone masters -- rightly so, thank you Bernie, for in his hands the big horn sounded light as a feather (and Gerry Mulligan took his clue from him). On a sideline, Ronnie Cuber, now of blessed memory as well, was the only one featured in this master series to play a "low-A" baritone, and that for all of his career. That type, now the usual thing, was developed for big bands to create a firm low C in the sax section. Sadly, the definition of the entire horn became less articulate, especially in the low register and when played at full volume, as Ronnie used to. As a former addict of the baritone, I advise aspiring players to look for the old ones, Buescher and the like, then have their keys attuned (even Pepper Adams' left hand keys were open wide, to good effect though), because in general the old instruments are somewhat out of tune by the sheer size of their keys. Good luck!
I disagree. The Mark VI Low A in particular is both more focused, as Low A baritones are, and clear in the lower register. Some modern horns like the Series II are clear, in tune, and balanced from top to bottom but lack the full sound most of us that play straight ahead want to hear.
Good site. My second visit. The think the baritone sax in and of itself is underrated. Leo Parker is my favorite.
Beautiful!
Sahib Shihab should really be on this list as should Lars Gullin.Check out Serge Chaloff on his 1955 Boston Blow Out album and his definitive version of Body & Soul.Simply breathtaking.
Of course, Chaloff and Shihad, the two great boppers of the barit.
Joe Temperly and Serge Chaloff, I want to have that sound.
Katz are asleep on Leo Parker for example check out his recording with Bill Jennings(Fine & Dandy).*
Very nice selection of baritonists where some of them are new to me. I was hoping to see something from Shahib Shihab.
You are missing Ernie Caceres, Jack Washington....perhaps you could do one on the origins of bari solos. Could list Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey, Clarence Hutchinson, Edmond Hall, Al Cohn, Charlie Fowlkes and a few others...Heywood Henry for example, or for the obscure, Charlie Bubeck.
15:42 Pepper Adams Among Us??? 😳😳😳
Hah!
Harry Carney, the true OG.
Of course, the first of all. The father of the jazz barit.
They left me off the list!!! 🤣
7:30 what is the name of his solo
Coltrane made a recording with Cecil Payne & Pepper Adams. One of the tunes was; DAKAR Something like that spelling ?
Yes and Payne was demolished in the operation.
what the name of the very first song
Or the one that hamiet bluiett played
@@paitenhood393 huh
12:59 is what you all came for
No Lars Gullin?? That’s crazy. He’s top 5. He won best saxophone player award in DownBeat 1954, without ever having been in the US.
And Helmut Brandt should be somewhere far down the list
Ernie Caceres.
Jack Nimitz?
Chaloff should be in the number position.
Roger Rosenberg!!!!!
LARS GULLIN??????
Great list! But where's Mark Allen?
Fred Ho.
Where's Gerry Mulligan?
Obviously the author of this video confuses "very good musicians" and "giants" of their instrument.
Any great saxophonist is a good barit sax player.., the best example being Sonny Stitt who had never been a baritone player but recorded with.
Give a barit sax. to young Baptiste Herbin, he will kill you, without being a barit player
There were three baritone monsters, above everybody:
- Pepper Adams , the "barit of the barit"
- Nick Brignola , the total master who buries everyone in jam session
- Ronnie Cuber , the Jazz-rock barit killer.
Mulligan is a solist, an artist, but not a killer on the instrument.
Excuse me but where tf is Leo P? Dude makes noises that sound like aliens, c'mon bruh
Everybody listen to the John Surman recordings with John McCloughlin. An amazing bari voice that motivated me as much as Pepper in a different way
Pepper Adams is one of the best jazz artists ever, regardless of the instrument.
He should be as a household name as Charlie Parker and John Coltrane
@@DoomerDad agreed. I was transcribing some of his stuff and I am absolutely blown away (pun)
The excerpts are well chosen. They demonstrate the range of the instrument, sometimes overlooked. And the Cecil Payne number is a knockout. Sounds like a live performance.
I've Been Listening to Jazz All My Life . I Just Sampled Serge Chaloff for the First Time . I Must Admit That in My Opinion He Has The Best Tone and Improvisational Skills I've Yet to Hear on Baritone Sax . Pepper Adams, Nick Brignola , Abdul Al-Khabyyr, Mulligan Fan .
Great lineup of the big horn monsters! Can't help but love Gerry Mulligan for the feeling he always had behind his playing. Technically, Pepper Adams still startles me after many listenings. Thanks!
Rest in Peace, Hamiet Bluiett...
Gerry Mulligan will forever be my Baritone Sax idol and tone goal. Gotta match his smoooooooooth sound.
Yes the baritone! Cecil Payne! Pepper Adams! Charles Davis! I could listen all day....
Harry Carney is still holding that note.
Bari Sax 1st instrument I ever took a solo on. Man, I learned some stuff this time out.
Dennis DiBlasio?
My favorites: Pepper Adams, Lars Gullin, Gerry Mulligan, Leo Parker. Rollin With Leo is a god tier jazz album IMHO.
Thanks for Turning Me Onto Some Great Artist !
How did you find like the only picture of Mulligan on a stainless steel mouthpiece ever? haha interesting
Each is a master in his own right....!!
Ronnie fucking cuber. road on the bus with him to Newport one year. what a character
Hey let's not forget from the uk one of the greatness baritone saxophone players Mr Ronnie Ross and his solo on walk on the wild side
Thank you for identifying that artist. That solo is my favorite bari solo. As I am a bari player, it is my inspiration.
Oh man Pepper Adams....!!!
Nick Brignola released a brilliant drummerless CD with David Holland and Kenny Barron I think called "About Time" doesn't seem to be on You Tube.
Bruce Johnstone was a monster player and rightfully deserves to be on this list.
Just Great! TNX
All these cats were / are cookin' creative musicians....!! Kick ass Bari sax....!!!
I love bob gordon thanks. not too crazy about "blew it" or those players after 1970. Jack Washington & Leo Parker are terribly missed from this list. and Lars Gullin. some recordings sound like they were made from a speaker? I love when stan getz played with Gerry on tnr. let's fall in love.Chu Berry plays Baritone on 1936's Knock knock with fletcher 2 takes.charles davis, shepp things aint what they used to be.
Hear, hear on Jack Washington for nomination.
Smulyan is just crazy...
When Nick Brignola plays everyone listens
Good list. How about Bruce Johnstone? Dennis DiBlasio?
Have an assignment to find a soloist I like that I can use to inspire my playing. I think I'm set =)
Sophisticated lady, i can't with this tune
Guud post!
Parker, Leo
Paul Nedzela
Jason Marshall
Scott Robinson
Bruce Johnstone
But nice list, thanks for showing love to the Baritone!
NICELY Done!!! You MISSED Lars Gullin, However...
Romeo Penque played a nice bari sax also
Hamiett Blueitt!!!!, Howard Johnson, Calaire Daly.
All of them played on selmer Low A models
Check out Joe Temperley playing "Angel in blue" on youtube ! Untoppable !
Pepper Adams the killer !
i like Nick Brignola's clarinet
James Carter and Bruce Johnstone deserve a spot on this list. Check out Maynard Fergueson's version of MaCarthur Park on "Live at Jimmy's." James is on u Tube as well.
dude. joe temperley?!?!?!
XJ didn't see him xdxd
May he Rest In Peace
Hes in there
Jeru was a master...!!
FRANCIS 'DOC' KUPKA of the Tower of Power
He alway splayed the low A because the concert C i a very important note in funky and rock music.
How about the amazing Leroy Cooper folks?!
ojo que no solamente los grandes exponentes del saxofón barítono están en el Jazz, y en EEUU.
hay mas...
Gary Smulyan
Sonny Stitt, incredible baritone player. Pepper Adams rated him among if not the greatest.
I got to meet Gary Smulyan last week
yea
Me too last week in Seattle. Second time. Always a monster!
Is he a Seattle resident? Port Towsend?
LUCKY
What about Sahib Shihab, and Leroy “Hog” Cooper.
Todos !!
A strong plug for Ronnie Lang. He can be heard on the first Henry Mancini "Peter Gunn" album (where he also plays alto at times). He has a nice, light tone, without that horrible rasp.
Idk why I’m here I play trumpet
bari is pretty good ey
Great list. One omission--Leo Parker--and a contemporary to consider: Joan Chamorro in Barcelona, Spain.
How could I have forgotten to mention Lars Gullin and Sahib Shihab? My BAD!
mario rivera
Let's not forget Leo Parker!
Leo pelligini right
@@k.1784 Parker is a different player, much older
4:58 I wanna know how he did that
Circle breathing
Tubby Hayes
i tend ta think of bari (flute, etc.) as more of a horn to double on - hubert laws comes to mind - so does sonny fortune, here with mongo - he is not known for his bari work, but i dig it~
ruclips.net/video/cP32H8RnXZQ/видео.html
James Carter as well
I thought he was tenor
@@k.1784 he plays them all, but won an award for the baritone.
I like Bob Gordon
Gerry Mulligan is a really good saxophonist and really elegant in his jazz solos
lars gullin to wit: ruclips.net/video/xv6UM1-atfI/видео.html
Lol the guy in the thumbnail is puffing his cheeks
Where is dennis diblasio?
Lars Gullin?
only two of them played on Low A horns.
Ben Krystall Low a is a better and cooler looking horn IMO
Kevin I find low a horns don’t sing as much. I’d rather have a sweeter tone than a low a.
Low A has a more airy sound and coarse tone. It's made for a rustier contrast with the rest of the instruments in their respective ensembles, and to differentiate with the generally smoother sound of a tenor.
Kenny Schultz yeah but I also like to hit a low a in a solo or a part. Plus you can still get a cool sound out of one of them
I quite like a low a, but if you can make an extension to a for a Bb horn, that is the ideal solution.
No Jason Marshall?
