Fantastic work from Gary Smulyan a baritone saxophonist who may well be one of the few really standout players on his instrument these days working in a legacy that puts his mighty talents right up there with Pepper Adams, Serge Chaloff, and a rare few others who could really make the baritone swing! Smulyan plays here in just a trio David Wong on bass and Rodney Green on drums and the tracks are long, flowing, and open really illustrating Gary's strength as a soloist, and his deft imagination on an instrument that doesn't easily give itself to some players. The song list is great, too titles by Ted Curson, Al Cohn, Mal Waldron, and Jimmy Giuffre plus one tune by Gary too. Titles include "Ahma See Ya", "Vodka", "Deep People", "Cohn Pone", "Tale Of The Fingers", and "Hanid".  © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/874627/Gary-Smulyan:Alternative-Contrafact
