Gary Smulyan Quartet • Royalty at Le Duc

 

Review from DownBeat Magazine:
Recorded live at the Paris jazz club Le Duc des Lombards during baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan's fall 2015 European tour, this highly recommended album features today's top bari sax practitioner stretching way out on long, adventurous bebop solos and wailing tenderly over slow progressions in a quartet session that features the fine rhythm section of French pianist Olivier Hutman, Italian bassist Michel Rosciglione and Austrian drummer Bernd Reiter. Smulyan, who topped the Baritone Saxophone category of the 2016 DownBeat Critics Poll, demonstrates why he's regarded as the beboppingest bari player to come along since Pepper Adams.

Reseña de la revista DownBeat:
Grabado en vivo en el club de jazz parisino Le Duc des Lombards durante la gira europea de otoño de 2015 del saxofonista barítono Gary Smulyan, este álbum muy recomendado presenta al mejor practicante actual del saxo barítono extendiéndose en largos y aventureros solos de bebop y lamentándose tiernamente sobre progresiones lentas en una sesión de cuarteto que cuenta con la excelente sección rítmica del pianista francés Olivier Hutman, el bajista italiano Michel Rosciglione y el baterista austriaco Bernd Reiter. Smulyan, quien encabezó la categoría de Saxofón Barítono en la Encuesta de Críticos de DownBeat 2016, demuestra por qué es considerado el intérprete de barítono más bebop que ha surgido desde Pepper Adams.
