Low Blow Music Launches!

Some time last year Gary Smulyan called me to propose a crazy idea to promote the baritone saxophone. Though we have planned and scrapped those plans a few times we are finally at the point where we can announce a new organization devoted to the baritone saxophone. Low Blow Music was formed by Gary Smulyan in conjunction with the council of baritonists - Frank Basile, Claire Daly, Andrew Hadro (myself), Brian Landrus and Jason Marshall - with the purpose of promoting the baritone saxophone.

We're hoping to make this a world-wide phenomenon, and to kick things off we are celebrating Pepper Adams' birthday on October 8th, 2022 with a BARITONE MARATHON. 12 hours of baritone and a jam session to boot. In addition to performances from groups led by Gary as well as each of the council of baritonists, we have additional performances from Lauren Sevian, Dave Schumacher, Roger Rosenberg and Carl Maraghi! The day will start at 12pm with Gary Smulyan and end at 12:30pm with an open Jam Session! Click here to see the full line up and schedule.

But perhaps the even more exciting news is that we have launched LowBlowMusic.com - this is a site that offers exclusive baritone content for a very affordable yearly membership of $25. The amount you get for $25 is insane, so please consider supporting this organization.

And I hope to see you on October 8th!
