Good Baritone Sax Recording?

Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster. The sound is excellent and so is the chemistry. The first cut is a beautiful version of Chelsea Bridge.

I second the James Carter recommendation. His version of Round Midnight on The Real Quietstorm is fantastic. There is also some intense baritone playing on Caravan, found on his first album, JC On The Set.

Not as good sonically, but nice music is Serge Chaloff, Blue Serge.

If you like hard bop then check out Pepper Adams. I love him and Lee Morgan on The Cooker racing through a furious version of Night In Tunisia.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be checking them out ASAP.

@rlawry ,

Thank you so much for that Northern Lights recommendation.  My wife’s nephew took his life a couple of months ago and he loved playing the bari-sax. I grew up playing music, but my wife was unacquainted with the bari. I wanted to introduce her to it, so I found your post, found a near-mint pressing of this album on discogs, and wow your glowing review may be underselling it.  The entire album sounds amazing, like I’m watching a quartet in a club from 25 feet away.  And the sax, of course, is sweet.  Thanks again.

I just ordered 2 Nick Brignola via Discogs (vinyl). I dig the bari sax, such a rich sound on a proper rig. Thanks for the recos. 

Great player, Nick. Still, for me, the greatest:
