Denis DiBlasio, Baritone Sax - "Salt Peanuts" - Maynard Ferguson, 1980s, Pepper Adams Jazz

Denis DiBlasio, Baritone Sax, makes a special featured guest appearance on the Pepper Adams Jazz Channel. Solo starts at 0:28 min. [28 sec.]

Maynard Ferguson's "BeBop Buffet" was recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival in the early 1980s.

The band kicks off with Charlie Parker's up-tempo "Koko" and then goes into Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts," which DiBlasio "peppers" with a post-bop bari sax solo (followed by a scat vocal).

DiBlasio's influences include Pepper Adams, Nick Brignola and Ronnie Cuber (the ABCs of the Bari Sax).
