Dmitry Baevsky is one of the most important young saxophonists on the New York scene. He began his recording career in 2005 recording, along with Cedar Walton and Jimmy Cobb, no less, and this year, already in full maturity and interpretive consolidation, he has recorded "Somethin 'Special", with the production company Blau Records. Dmitri's sound is warm, thick, dark, with a resounding presence and a timbre full of harmonics. In the present work he has chosen a varied bunch of standards that are very much in keeping with his style. A great album by a great saxophone virtuoso, accompanied by some great performers. ~ blaurecords.com. [Translated from Spanish]
