The Brian Landrus Quartet: Traverse
by AAJ Italy Staff
Bella band di professionisti quella che ruota intorno al sassofonista baritono Brain Landrus, allievo del noto pianista Michael Cain. Landrus colpisce subito per il suo tono colloquiale, per il fraseggio da tenorista, per la morbidezza del suono e pure, quando necessario, per la fluidità con cui padroneggia l'ingombrante strumento ("Lydian 4"). Ha poco a che fare ...

On this album, Brian Landrus plays baritone saxophone and bass clarinet, along with Michael Cain on piano, Lonnie Plaxico ...

Brian Landrus Quartet: Traverse
by Bruce Lindsay
The baritone saxophone: a low-down, honking, raw and randy piece of musical metal, isn't it? What about the baritone saxophone as a romantic, seductive and rather beautifully mellow instrument? Not so likely? Well, once it's placed in the hands of Brian Landrus, the romantic side of the instrument isn't just likely, it seems to be exactly ...
