Charlie Fowlkes hardly soloed with Basie, though he can be heard on at least one of the jams in the Buck Clayton Mosaic.

Helmut Brandt (Berlin 1931 - Stuttgart 2001)

Willi Sanner (who can be heard on Hans Koller's fine CD "Koller Plays Kova" [rec. mid Fifties]) was another fine German (or Austrian? I guess Austrian) baritone player.

Then there was Lars Gullin, of course!

For me, it's very hard to choose a favourite. Mulligan is terrific, so is Bob Gordon, so is Chaloff, so is Carney... so is Pepper Adams, and so are several living guys. Maybe I'd choose Carney, if I was forced to choose.

Cecil Payne is dead?

I voted for Sahib Shihab. Any guy that plays baritone, alto, and flute (three instruments I own) is alright by me. Second choice was Brignola. I've got enough Pepper and Mulligan CDs to fill a briefcase and was listening to Encounter! when I ran across this thread.
