"When one is privileged to see a student flower and grow beyond expectations, it is a wonderful thing. Brian Landrus has become an individual soloist on Baritone, carving out his own language and making a whole new voice appear. As a composer, he has also reached a point where he makes music that is truly his own - a rare and welcome thing. Keep your eyes and ears peeled - he is worth it."
–Bob Brookmeyer

"The first time I heard Brian I knew he was a real player. What he does is so natural and organic that it always sounded magical to me. I am a fan."
–Jerry Bergonzi

"Brian's a great musician! Aside from his amazing ability to be a multi instrumentalist on different reeds and woodwinds, his playing remains rooted in the 'feel good" side of things. Couple that with being an excellent composer and it makes for a powerful combination."
–Michael Cain
