Full press and promo accompanies this release, it is sure to pick up alot of interest as there is no comparable set in the marketplace. The baritone saxophone played a limited role in jazz during the early years of the music's development. Stump Evans with Erskine Tate's band and Otto Hardwicke with the first Duke Ellington band had made some solo noises during the late 1920s, but it was not until Harry Carney, with his great command of the big horn, emerged as a noted soloist on the baritone sax. Carney's emergence as a baritone player was gradual as he primarily played alto sax and clarinet, while doubling on baritone sax in Duke Ellington's orchestra. During the 1930s other bandleaders like Count Basie with Jack Washington, Jimmie Lunceford with Jock Carruthers and Erskine Hawkins with Heywood Henry gave the big horn some solo space, while Ernie Caceres could occasionally be heard in the bands of Bobby Hackett, Jack Teagarden and Bob Zurke. Yet, all these musicians doubled on alto sax and/or clarinet and baritone sax. It was not until the early 1940s that a number of big bands enlarged their reed sections to five pieces to incorporate a full time baritone sax chair, although the horn's allocated solo space remained rather limited. The bebop revolution of the 1940s saw the baritone sax coming into its own as a solo voice with the enhanced role of Leo Parker in the Billy Eckstine Band, Eddie De Verteuil and Cecil Payne in the Dizzy Gillespie organisation and the emergence of the greatest baritone player of them all: Serge Chaloff. -
