About this playlist
Baltimore's Gary Bartz is considered one of the most talented jazz saxophonists of his generation. In the '60s, he honed his chops with Charles Mingus's Jazz Workshop before launching a solo career that would ultimately yield more than 40 albums. He won a GRAMMY® for his performance on McCoy Tyner's Illuminations, and the fiery solos he added to recordings like Miles Davis's Live-Evil are rare gems. Bartz also fronted NTU Troop, the avant-jazz squad peddling a mind-bending mix of soul, funk, bop, and African music. The guy's a true musical explorer.
