Dmitry Baevsky

“Baevsky stamps his identity on virtually everything. Refined taste and prodigious talent.” JAZZTIMES "Alto saxophone powerhouse…” HOT HOUSE JAZZ. " The Russian born alto saxophonist has made quite a name for himself since immigrating to New York from his St. Petersburg birthplace nearly twenty years ago. Now a charter member of the world jazz community, Baevsky has proven himself to be a formidable force to be reckoned with, confirming his prodigious abilities in countless appearances with some of the music’s greatest artists. From his very first recording with NEA Jazz Masters Cedar Walton and Jimmy Cobb the altoist has shown himself to be an important new voice on his instrument. Possessing a robust sound, acute harmonic mind and keen sense of rhythm, the young horn man puts it all together in a manner that is appealing in its lyricism, yet intriguing in its originality." Russ Musto, The New York City Jazz Record "Listen to a few notes on any Dmitry Baevsky recording and you immediately will hear this distinct musical voice: a gorgeously dark and warm alto tone that at times almost sounds like a tenor. Having moved to to New York City from his native Russia nearly two decades ago, Baevsky has since carved a niche as an inspired straight-ahead alto virtuoso, one whose musical résumé boasts an impressive set of collaborations and whose solo outings include a series of critically beloved albums and a highly regarded quartet."
