Gary Bartz

Biography

Fromwikipedia

Gary Bartz is an American alto and soprano saxophonist and clarinetist. Bartz graduated from the Baltimore City College high school and The Juilliard School. He has worked with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, and Jackie McLean, and in 2005 won a Grammy Award for playing on McCoy Tyner's album Illuminations. His group the "Ntu Troop" combined soul, funk, the music of Africa, hard bop, and avant-garde jazz. In the liner notes to his 1994 album The Red and Orange Poems, Jazz critic Stanley Crouch calls Bartz "one of the very best who has ever picked up the instrument". He currently teaches at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music when not touring.

The GB gig at Bennetts Lane some years ago was one of the best I've seen there. His work with Miles was - to put it mildly - astonishing.
