Celebrated for his musicality and regarded as a major force in the global jazz community, baritone saxophonist Adam Schroeder brings his muscular swing to Daniels Pavilion, joining the Naples Philharmonic Jazz Orchestra for a program that bridges traditional bebop with high-energy, contemporary jazz. Often compared to baritone saxophone legend Gerry Mulligan, Schroeder is a sought-after presence on stage and in the studio, recognized for his warm sound, fluid improvisation and confident command of the instrument.
