Gary Smulyan, born April 4, 1956 in Bethpage, New York, is considered by critics and jazz fans alike to be the preeminent baritone saxophonist in contemporary jazz. For many years, he has topped the Downbeat Reader and Critic Polls, the world's premier jazz award, including again in 2015 in the Baritone Saxophone category.
In his extraordinary career, Smulyan has played with musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Tito Puente, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Diana Ross and many others. He is still a member of the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and also works with the Dave Holland Big Band, the Dizzy Gillespie All Star Big Band and also with the Joe Lovano Nonet. Smulyan's greatest influence is Pepper Adams, after whose death he recorded a tribute featuring pieces by Adams.
On this tour he is joined by three outstanding European musicians:
Helmut Kagerer is one of Europe's preeminent jazz guitarists. He has worked internationally with musicians such as Clark Terry, Benny Bailey, Red Holloway, Dusko Goykovich, Jimmy Cobb, Houston Person and Sheila Jordan, and has also recently toured with the "Night of Jazz Guitars". Kagerer has been a lecturer in jazz guitar at the Nuremberg University of Music since 1990 and at the Vermont Jazz Center since 2003.
Pianist and organist Fred Nardin from Paris is considered an exceptional talent and has already performed with his trio at all the major French festivals as well as in New York. Austrian drummer Bernd Reiter, winner of the Hans Koller Prize, the Austrian Jazz Prize, in 2006 and now living in Paris, has already played with many jazz greats such as Mundell Lowe, Steve Grossman, John Marshall, Andy KcKee, Claudio Roditi, Joe Haider and many others, despite his youth.
