Phillip Whack is a native of Columbia, SC. It was there that he was a product of his environment and grew up hearing the likes of Miles Davis, Nat King Cole, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Doobie Bros, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Louie Armstrong, Grover Washington Jr, James Brown, and many others in the family household. By constantly absorbing all of this music, it would prove to have a profound influence in his interest in music.
He went on to continue his studies at Brevard College in Brevard, NC, where he studied saxophone and clarinet with Dr.David Kirby and Dr. Jon Gudmundson. As he honed his skills in college, he began his true quest in music. Although Phillip was initially a classically trained musician, he started to get submerged in the recordings by artist such as John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Freddie Hubbard, Kirk Whalum, Weather Report, Tower of Power, etc. Those and many other recordings would change his life and direction in music forever.
As a professional, Phillip has gone on to record or share the stage with the likes of The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Maceo Parker, Clarence Clemons, Fantasia, Fred Wesley, Wycliffe Gordon, Tom Browne, Lenny Kravitz, Branford Marsalis, The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Ojays, Dennis Edwards and the Temptations Review, and many others. He's performed in 48 states, Asia, Europe, Canada, and Africa. Here is what he has to say about his Eastman 52nd Street tenor saxophone. "Eastman Saxophones have everything that a saxophonist would want..They play well in all registers from top to bottom...They allow the player to be extremely flexible and with great intonation and pitch...And most of all, they allow you to sound like you"

Here is what Keith Kelly says about the Eastman 52nd Street Tenor Saxophone"
"I’ve played a vintage horn, ever since I picked up the tenor saxophone. I had found that modern horns lacked the power, the range of tone color, and the overall ‘umph’ that I loved so much about playing vintage horns. The Eastman 52nd St Tenor Saxophone was a revelation to me – a modern horn, with all the precision key-work and attention to detail, coupled with the overall sound and feel of a vintage saxophone. When I first played my Eastman with the musicians who know me and my music best, they raved about how I 'sounded more like myself' and how much 'clearer and focused' my sound became. I feel so lucky to be able to play this horn every day and to share this hybrid of 'vintage and modern' with my students and other professionals."

Most artists who put a “Doc” in their name do it out of cleverness, for marketing reasons, or as a crafty way to express their mastery of their instrument or vibe. Since the release of his 2003 debut Saxappeal, Phillip “Doc” Martin has all that down pat, wowing audiences everywhere from Blues Alley in D.C. to the St. Lucia Jazz Festival and the Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival and earning inspiring amounts of airplay (including on XM Watercolors and The Weather Channel) for tracks like “Deep Pockets” and the title track from his 2009 set Realization. His latest Innervision Records release Pocket Love further establishes this powerful expertise via his dynamic flow and tight, funky old school driven alto vibe.
While many independent artists with cool, successful “day jobs” prefer to avoid references to them when they talk about their music, Martin is the complete opposite, fully embracing the inspirational factor of being a top notch practitioner in two very different professions. Beyond his ever-expanding musical fan base, hundreds of patients in the Washington DC area know him as “Dr. Martin,” a board certified dentist in group practice there. He called his previous album Good Day At Work (2013) to reflect his artful balance between the rigours of life as a dentist and the sometimes exhilarating, often challenging grind of being an independent artist and performer. One of the insert photos in the packaging of Pocket Love finds him enjoying the best of both worlds, embracing his treasured alto while wearing his green scrubs and cap.
“My first love was always playing the sax, and I continue to strive to be the best sounding alto player you’ve ever heard. If it’s unheard of that a saxophone artist also wants to be the best dentist you’ve ever gone to, that’s a testament to the hard work I have put in so that I may enjoy these two amazing careers. In both worlds, success comes from working with incredible, dedicated people and developing inspiring, enduring relationships.”

Bennie Maupin is best known for his atmospheric bass clarinet playing on Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew” album, as well as other Miles Davis recordings such as “Big Fun,” “Jack Johnson,” and “On the Corner.” He was a founding member of Herbie Hancock’s seminal band The Headhunters, as well as a performer and composer in Hancock’s influential Mwandishi band. Born in 1940, Maupin started playing clarinet, later adding saxophone, flute, and most notably the bass clarinet to his formidable arsenal of woodwind instruments. Upon moving to New York in 1962, he freelanced with groups led by Marion Brown, Pharoah Saunders, and Chick Corea, and played regularly with Roy Haynes and Horace Silver. He also recorded with McCoy Tyner, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Jack DeJohnette, Andrew Hill, Eddie Henderson, and Woody Shaw to name only a few.
Maupin’s own discography as a leader includes a well-received recording for ECM Records, “The Jewel in The Lotus” (1974), “Slow Traffic to the Right” (1976), “Moonscapes” both on Mercury Records (1978), and “Driving While Black” on Intuition, (1998). The instrumentation of Maupin’s current group The Bennie Maupin Ensemble, harkens back to the tradition of great saxophone-bass-drum trios, such as the group led by Sonny Rollins with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones. While echoes of the great John Coltrane can be heard in Maupin’s work, one can also discern the influences of Yusef Lateef, Sonny Rollins, and Eric Dolphy, as well as Maupin’s contemporaries like Wayne Shorter and the late Joe Henderson. Maupin’s approach to his music is intentional and profound, yet alive in the interpretation of the moment. He maintains active performing and teaching careers in Europe, and the US. Bennie Maupin currently resides in the Los Angeles area.

Brian received his bachelors in music performance from Carleton University in 2004 under the direction of Mike Tremblay, Rob Frayne, and Juno award winner Kirk Macdonald. Being an educator has always been in the forefront of his career. Brian started teaching private students while attending University which eventually led him back to school to obtain his education degree. Over the course of the last 10 years he has taught students topics ranging from saxophone, jazz improvisation, music theory, and song writing. Currently Brian is on staff as a professor at Algonquin College in the Industry Arts program as well as conducting several bands under a program called New Horizons which help adults learn a musical instrument in a band setting. Apart from being a saxophonist, Brian is also a songwriter. After attending teachers college he wrote a song dedicated to teachers around the world who inspire their students on a daily basis. The song has since gone viral (over 1 million views) on youtube and can be heard by choirs all around the world. The song has also been played on NBC’s Late Night News with Diane Sawyer. Since writing that song, Brian has created a YouTube channel, and released albums both under his own name as well as his new Soul project entitled ‘Delbert & The Commotions’. Back in 2009, Brian got the opportunity to tour with The Motown Legendary Funk Brothers which is an experience he will cherish for the rest of my life. The Funk Brothers (including Bob Babbitt, Uriel Jones, and Eddie Willis) were the back up band on most Motown albums including The Temptations, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, and countless others. The documentary ‘Standing In The Shadows of Motown’ is the story of The Funk Brothers. During his stay with the Funk Brothers he formed a friendship with the bands lead singer, Delbert Nelson and soon after they created the band – Delbert & The Commotions. Just last March, they released their debut album entitled ‘Let Me See Ya Dance’. With this album hot off the press, they are currently in the works to record their second album which will hopefully be released in early 2014.

Read what’s being said about this Las Vegas saxophonist: “…When I walked into Pearl’s, the piece “Brujo” was in full swing. It was a swift piece that featured Charles McNeal primarily on soprano sax with Wally kicking and stomping on the drums, pushing Charles to great heights. The group was very tight and seemed to like that tempo. Charles’s alto solo had a contemporary edge on “Tony,” a piece dedicated to Tony Williams.” “…Charles was into a very avant-garde mode that took the rest of the group in that fast-clip direction.” “…before slowing the pace for the first of Nelson’s compositions, “A Penthouse Dawn,” admirably performed by the orchestra and alto soloist Charles McNeal.”

I’ve owned, and played on, a number of other top brand soprano saxophones, and have for thirty plus years been searching for a soprano that plays the way I dreamed a soprano would sound and feel! The ESS 652 52nd Street has a wonderful sound, is ergonomically designed to feel very comfortable in your hands, has superb intonation, fantastic technical facility, and has the free blowing flexibility as if I’m playing my tenor! I have finally found the soprano for me, and I could not recommend this horn more. It will be the direction I send all of my students. Thank you Andreas Eastman for building such a fantastic instrument!

Best known for his dynamic groovy melodies and his over-the-top candy colored apparel, Aaron “Candyman” West has become a Contemporary Jazz saxophone sensation. From recordings with jazz giant Stanley Clarke and pop icon Macy Gray to lead saxophonist in NBC’s Carson Daly show band, critics and fans alike garner accolades to the most sought after saxophone entertainer of today. “An incredibly gifted musician who has the ability to combine the best of R&B, pop, neosoul and jazz “– Keaton Hoffman/ Producer. From his early days in Chicago where he played in a church choir under the direction of gospel veteran Smokie Norful, Aaron drew inspiration from the rich musical traditions of that city, including jazz, R&B and blues. He attended music school at University of Illinois and Northern Illinois University and was recognized quickly as a rising star when he arrested audiences with a compelling performance of Curtis Mayfield’s “Move on Up” at the 2001 Chicago Blues festival. Shortly afterwards, Aaron moved to Los Angeles and caught the attention of world-renown bassist and film composer Stanley Clarke. Impressed with Aaron’s unique tenor sound, the bassist invited him to play on network television soundtracks for the HBO hit series “Soul Food” and for Warner Bros. pilot, “The Big Time”. Following, Aaron performed a series of recordings with Macy Gray including a theme soundtrack for the television hit series, “Desperate Housewives”. In 2004 Danny Masterson, actor and star of “That 70’s Show” invited Aaron to join the featured jazz night at the exclusive Los Angeles club called Guys (presently Guys & Dolls), which was voted “Best Club Night” consecutively by Los Angeles Magazine. There he performed weekly live jazz, R&B and pop sets sharing the stage with everyone from John Mayer, Roy Hargrove, Christina Aguilera, Marcus Miller, India Arie and Jodeci. Later, in 2012 Aaron delivered an all-star live performance with Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. Later on, Aaron landed the coveted spot as lead saxophonist for NBC’s Carson Daly Show house band. Drawing on the influences of legends like John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, Michael Brecker and Grover Washington Jr. Aaron fashions the perfect contemporary jazz sampler, and has just released his latest Contemporary Jazz sampler titled, “Say It Again”. The Eastman Nickel Tenor has superb intonation and an amazing contemporary sound. Any serious recording artist knows that it’s rare to find an instrument that captures both personality and clarity. This is clearly my saxophone of choice. “I believe that music should be fun…”, states the musician, composer and performer.


Saxophonist Chris Farr graduated from University of the Arts in 1995 and since then has been a highly sought after performer and educator.

Todd says the following about his Eastman 52nd Street Bari. “I have recently purchased an Eastman 52nd Street Baritone Saxophone. I’ve owned several different models of baritone saxophones throughout the years, at least six or seven horns, but the Eastman is beyond compare to anything I’ve previously played. It is lighter weight, yet has a big, fat, and dark sound. In fact it has the tonal core and an all-around response much like a tenor sax. I should mention that the intonation is fantastic! I like the look of the unpolished brass, and it’s nice not worrying over lacquer failure and scratches. The rolled tones holes on these instruments feels like blowing on the old Conn 10-Ms, as they had the same design, however the 52nd Street horns are more robust construction, especially with the double-braced key pads on the low-notes, and as well they have the hi F# and low A keys. As a bonus, the case construction is great too. If you haven’t tried these horns, you’re missing out on an opportunity to achieve a great deal of personal satisfaction at a price that is unreasonably affordable. I’m a convert and give the 52nd Street Baritone Saxophone two big thumbs up! I give it my complete endorsement. You will not be disappointed."
Eastman saxophonist and music educator, Anthony “Tony” White began his music career on clarinet before moving to tenor saxophone in high school. Inspired by musical greats John Coltrane, Michael Brecker, Ernie Watts, Stanley Turrentine, Joe Henderson, Jan Garbarek, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock to name a few. Mr. White went on to study music at The University of California, Riverside where he performed in the concert and jazz ensembles, adding soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, flute and the Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) to his arsenal of instruments. It was during his college career that he began performing in groups ranging from pop to rock and hip hop and Latin jazz. “Creating great music is my objective when performing in any style,” says Tony.
During his college tenure, Tony began working with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s “All City Band.” He marched in the band during his senior year in high school and was awestruck with the sound and the power of the band which led him to volunteer his time to work with the band. He started off as the “lunch person” and learned the inside of music education from his mentors. It was during this time that he realized the importance of the power of music and devoted his life to music performance and music education.
In 1991, Tony became the music teacher at John C. Fremont High School. With the help of a dedicated principal and support from the faculty, he was able to develop a strong comprehensive music program in South Central Los Angeles where there was not one before. The bands performed at the Playboy Jazz Festival, Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, the Pantages Theater and more giving the students of the Fremont High School Music department experiences that would last a lifetime. They were also able to perform with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Plas Johnson, Poncho Sanchez and Justo Almario.
Tony has developed an educational component in the Los Angeles Unified School District – Beyond the Bell Branch known as “Music and Entertainment Education.” There he works to develop partnerships with various music and entertainment organizations; assist teachers with creating and maintaining arts education programs; coordinates and develops LAUSD All District music ensembles (marching, jazz, mariachi, etc.).
Through all of his teaching, he maintained his performing artist schedule by studying and playing with the likes of Kenny Burrell, Jackson Brown, Bernie Worrell, Buddy Collette, Billy Mitchell, Gerald Wilson, Billy Mitchell, John Stephens, Bill Green, Dr. Art Davis, John Ehlis, Jose Arellano, Al Viola, Bobby Rodriguez, The Mambo Combo, East Los Angeles Sax Quartet and others.
In his career, Mr. White has been a Bravo Award Finalist and Fulfillment Fund Awardee for his work in music education, The UC Riverside Chancellor Award, Humanitarian Award from the Omni Youth Music Awards, L.A. Music Week Honoree, recognition by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education for his work in music education and the International Association for Jazz Education for being an Outstanding Saxophonist and educator. Tony released his first recording called “The Tony White Project” in 2009, which features different approaches to standard jazz classics such as Little Sunflower, Equinox and Cold Duck Time. He is currently working with jazz pianist Gary Fukushima in a duo format around the Los Angeles area with plans on recording soon. Tony also continues to be a free-lance saxophonist in the greater Los Angeles area where he resides with his wife Kia and their children, Anthony Nikos Ross and Sarah Georgia.

Jim Stranahan is a Denver, Colorado-based jazz recording artist with Tapestry Records. His discography includes an appearance on “Dreams Untold” and “Transformation”, two CDs released by his internationally known son, Colin Stranahan. Mr. Stranahan has released two projects, “Free For All” (2010), featuring all original compositions and “Migration to Higher Ground” (2014). Both CDs have received national acclaim such as in this review from Raul da Gama of Jazz Da Gama: “…how does he make a little big band sound like a really big band? The answer is in the music, which is intelligently composed and inspired-not only the music of Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, and Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond - but also Mr. Stranahan’s own compositions themselves…As an instrumentalist, Mr. Stranahan is a fine winds player. He plays his instrument as if he were a painter wielding brushes of different dimensions and characteristics. This gives his music a superb flow of line and dynamic.”
Over his 40+ year career as a bandleader and musician in the Denver area, Mr. Stranahan has performed with Bob Hope, Rosemary Clooney, Suzanne Sommers, Lee Konitz and Bobby Shew. He is a frequently featured performer at the legendary Dazzle Jazz Club in Denver performing his original compositions and arrangements.
