Smulan and Dave Glasser last week with the Dizzy Gillespie Band with Paquito D'Rivera, Gary and Dave Glasser were unbeleivable not just as player's but Realy nice Guy's.. Another Plyer You might have trouble getting is Rosario Giuliani on Alto.

Gary Smulyan is my sax teacher up here at William Paterson University. And all of the other players you listed are good as well, but people should know these cats!!! Good post though. -Dave Reply To Post by BariSaxplyr (35 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players I think chris potter is one of the more popular tenor players today. I think a relatively unknown player is Eric Alexander. You should check it out. As for Gary Smulyan, every bari player i know is a fan of his, because, well... he's the man. Reply To Post by Seano (132 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players Chris Potter has recently begun to have gained more popularity, so I'd take him off the list and replace him with Gary Bartz. Gary Bartz is a mad alto/soprano player who has played with the Mingus Big Band, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, etc. I had the honour of attending one of his live gigs with Christoph Spendel (Insanely good German pianist). That was a night I would not forget any time soon. I even got Mr. Bartz's autograph at the end of the night! :-) Sean Reply To Post by Peepin728 (17 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players Eric Alexander is a good player, all tech though. He just played a duo with our director of Jazz Studies Mulgrew Miller up here at William Paterson. He has umbelievable chops, but they might be too sick for his own good, because even in ballads he plays burning 32nd note lines. I'm not saying he's not a good player, because trust me he's a killin' cat. But he just doesn't have any soul! Haha. Well that's my 2 cents. Take care! -Dave Reply To Post by saxophonik (73 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players Ronnie Cuber has been all over the map as far as performances / recordings; from Eric Clapton, The Eagles and Frank Zappa to Lionel Hampton and Maynard Ferguson. I just got Randy Brecker's "34th N Lex" album a couple months ago. Ronnie has a couple spots open to him on the album. KILLER STUFF!! Just do a Google search and do some scouring. His resume is quite impressive.

Reply To Post by checkster12 (2 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players LOL, someones been listening to Dave holland's Big Band. Smulyan is dreat, Hart is good, Pottter....words dont describe. Reply To Post by spifster (67 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players we went to the saturday night show... i am amazed that he had the stamina. we were there for about 4-5 hours listening to his group play, he got better throughout, if that is even possible. we were there until almost one thirty in the morning it was nuts. his keyboard player and drummer were really good too... as was his guitarist... aw screw it they were just awesome in all ways possible. Reply To Post by bigred (43 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players actually I first heard smulyan on Joe Lovano Nonet album, and I heard Hart on Roy Hargrove Diamond in the rough. But I do have both Holland Big Band albums though ;) Reply To Post by definition (963 posts) 18 years ago Re: good unknown players You guys should look up Shawn Wallace, great player, teaching at Ohio State now Reply To Post Yahoo!
