Brian Landrus - Traverse (Blue Land Records, 2011)
I grew up listening to baritone saxophone hero Nick Brignola play all around the Capital District, so it's nice to hear a younger musician pick up the big horn and continue the tradition of swinging mainstream jazz. 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?

Brian Landrus: Forward
by Bruce Lindsay
