The Brian Landrus Kaleidoscope - Mirage (2013)

In a realm where musicians inhabit the bass lines of instrumental music, Brian Landrus stands alone. The reeds and woodwinds player is probably the only musician who plays an array of instruments ranging from the baritone saxophone to the rarely-played contra alto clarinet that reaches the proverbial challenger depths. However, as if playing these instruments is not sufficient, Mr. Landrus achieves the rare distinction of excelling in each and every one of them. This is something he shows with élan on Mirage a dramatic record that traces his own epic odyssey into a seemingly Cartesian region of mind body and soul.
