Think low. Gary Smulyan (Woody Herman band, Mingus Big Band, five Grammys, four Downbeat poll wins), one of the most powerful players of the baritone saxophone anywhere is over in the smoke next week.

He’ll be talking/demonstrating at Foyles in Charing Cross Road on Saturday 6th at 2pm, playing alongside baritone player Pete Lukas at the Bulls Head that night. They will be at Pizza Express Dean Street Monday night 8th. The trio is Andrea Pozza, Dominic Howles and Matt Home.
