ABOUT GARY SMULYAN
Baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan was born April 4, 1956, in Bethpage, New York. The gifted multi-instrumentalist started his music career by first learning alto saxophone during his teenage years on Long Island. Today he is critically acclaimed across-the-board and recognized as the major voice on the baritone saxophone. His playing is marked by an aggressive rhythmic sense, an intelligent and creative harmonic approach - and perhaps most importantly - a strong and incisive wit.
Smulyan has played with luminaries Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea, Tito Puente, Ray Charles, BB King, and Diana Ross. He has repeatedly been named the best Baritone Saxophonist by the Downbeat Critics poll, most recently in July 2014, as well as many other top honors and awards.
