SUMMARY:BOSS BARITONES - Gary Smulyan & Frank Basile
DESCRIPTION:$10 cover\, $5 for students (free to jam) General Admission (
 Seated) - Doors open at 7PM Inspired by the rich history of the great 2-
 tenor pairings in jazz (think Lester Young & Herschel Evans\, Gene Ammon
 s & Sonny Stitt\, Lockjaw Davis & Johnny Griffin\, and Al Cohn & Zoot Si
 ms)\, the Boss Baritones continue this tradition\, but with the pairing 
 of the tenor saxophone's lower pitched baritone brethren. So who are the
 se "Boss Baritones?" Locking horns in the front line are two of today's 
 finest exponents and practitioners of the baritone saxophone in jazz: Ga
 ry Smulyan and Frank Basile. Gary Smulyan has been steadily polishing hi
 s craft for over 40 years and is all but unanimously regarded as today's
  leading baritone saxophonist. Since filling the baritone chair in Woody
  Herman's Young Thundering Herd in 1978\, Smulyan has gone on to perform
  with virtually every important name in jazz since. A sampling of this l
 ofty company includes the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra\, the Gene Harris Sup
 erband\, B.B. King\, Joe Henderson\, Freddie Hubbard\, Michel Camilo\, t
 he Carnegie Hall Jazz Band\, Cedar Walton\, Joe Lovano\, George Coleman\
 , the Mingus Big Band\, and Dave Holland. A favorite of critics and peer
 s alike\, Smulyan has consistently topped polls in Downbeat\, Jazz Times
 \, and with the Jazz Journalists Association for the past two decades. S
 mulyan is a 6-time Grammy winner. Frank Basile made his way on to the Ne
 w York scene in 2001 after his studies at the University of North Texas 
 and a brief stint at the Juilliard School. He has since forged his own p
 ath following in the footsteps of his mentors such as Smulyan. Dubbed a 
 "prized sideman" by The New Yorker\, Basile has been called upon to perf
 orm with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra\, the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big 
 Band\, the Jimmy Heath Big Band\, the Bob Mintzer Big Band\, the Jon Fad
 dis Jazz Orchestra\, the Christian McBride Big Band\, the Count Basie Or
 chestra\, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. As a "rising star\," Basile 
 has consistently appeared in the Downbeat critic's poll since 2014. The 
 Boss Baritones made their debut the weekend of March 6-7\, 2020 at Small
 s Jazz Club in New York City. This was an auspicious start for the band\
 , but one week later\, the Coronavirus pandemic would officially put it 
 all on hold. Since the easing of restrictions and the return of normal a
 spects to life\, the Boss Baritones have been regaining their momentum w
 ith performances in the New York City area (including numerous return en
 gagements at Smalls) as well as their eponymous debut recording on Steep
 lechase Records. Contact Us: contact@thedrakeamherst.org #: 413-320-3020
