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.

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.”

The ease of response gives the sound a special singing quality that I have come to expect from professional level saxophones. I love the Eastman 52nd Street Alto Saxophone so much that I intend to make it my primary performing instrument after many years of using other major saxophone brands. I can’t wait to try the soprano and tenor!

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. Chris is currently the head of the saxophone department at the University of the Arts. Chris is also a clinician and endorser of Eastman saxophones. Over the past 15 years he has performed, toured and recorded with the likes of Elvis Costello, Jill Scott, Sting, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, The Roots, Teddy Pendergrass, Grover Washington, Gerald Veasley & Maynard Ferguson. For the last several years, I have been playing the Andreas Eastman 52nd Street model tenor saxophone. It is a superior instrument. It is effortless to play, while still possessing a rich sound and outstanding intonation. Thank you to the folks at Eastman for producing such a fine instrument.

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. Small’s Jazz Club in New York City is another performance venue in his repertoire. Mr. Stranahan is a sought after clinician, adjudicator and private saxophone instructor in the Denver area.

Many of his past students, public and private, have gone on to become successful professional musicians.

What he has to say about 52nd Street Alto “From the first moment I played the 52nd street, I knew I had found what I had been longing for. Without having to search for an old horn, I had a vintage style instrument right at my fingertips. After years of playing modern style horns, the style of the 52nd street alto gave me a literal breath of fresh air. There is a certain freedom that I experience with this horn that I have never had the opportunity to utilize until now. Built like an old-school sax, the 52nd Street provides a warm and deeper tone that fits my playing style better than I would have imagined. I see myself enjoying this horn for the rest of my career.”

The 52nd Street saxophone is a professional instrument and comes unlacquered for a truly vintage appearance. It is an exceptionally responsive horn in all registers and produces a big, fat sound with precise intonation. A larger bell and rolled-style tone holes contribute to the sound qualities of this instrument that many compare to some of the great vintage horns of the past.

A life-long resident of Southern California, Scott Sutherland has been hailed as “the second craziest tuba player I know” by famed American composer, Joan Tower. He is a member of the Redlands Symphony, Riverside Philharmonic and has been spotted in the back row of the Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Colorado Springs Philharmonic, and San Diego Symphony. Likely due to clerical errors, Scott has performed at the front of the stage as a soloist with the San Diego and Idyllwild Arts Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Riverside and Burbank Philharmonics. He has also recorded for film, television and video game soundtracks, including the major motion pictures Pearl Harbor and Batman vs. Superman (which are the only accomplishments notable to his younger private students).
For 11 years, Scott was a founding member, tubist and pianist of the international touring ensemble, Presidio Brass, for which he continues to work with as a consultant and music arranger. During his time with the quintet, he performed in over 40 states, Canada and China.
Scott can often be found behind his MacBook Pro, slaving away for hours on end adapting music. His arrangements have been performed by ensembles throughout the world, including the Principal Brass of the New York Philharmonic, famed tubist and conductor Roger Bobo, as well as chamber groups from the West Point Band and the “President’s Own” Marine Band. Scott’s “Fantasy on Porgy and Bess” for trumpet and orchestra was commissioned by soloist Barry Perkins and has been performed with the Pacific Symphony (California) and the Aguascalientes Symphony (Mexico).
He began a popular YouTube Channel in 2016 which includes multitrack videos of film, television and video game music, featuring Scott playing euphonium, tuba, cimbasso, piano and percussion. In its first year, the channel was viewed over 500,000 times.
Beyond his performance career, Scott is a passionate and dedicated teacher. He is currently on the faculty at the University of Redlands, Idyllwild Arts Summer Program and Gene Pokorny Low Brass Seminar.
Despite all of this, Scott’s foremost identity, besides being an avid beer and whiskey snob, comes as a husband and father to his beautiful family and he is grateful to come home to Carlsbad, CA where it never fails to be 70 degrees and sunny all year round.
Scott Sutherland is proud to be an Artist and Clinician for the Eastman Music Company.
