In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.

Gerry Mulligan

I would love to have a chat with Michael Jackson. For the sole purpose of seeing if he has a deep voice or not. A lot of people say he actually had a deep baritone, but then on TV he always had the high pitched squeaky voice. I would love to spend some time with him.

Ashley Walters

I played in the high school band. I was the one baritone saxophone out of 80 other people. No one could tell whether I was hittin' the right notes or the wrong notes.

Bobby Keys

I wanted to be Gerry Mulligan, only, see, I didn't have any kind of technique. So I thought, well, baritone sax is kind of easier; I can manage that - except I couldn't afford a baritone, so I bought an alto, which was the same fingering.

David Bowie

So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone.

Gerry Mulligan

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing.

Gerry Mulligan

When I was about forty-three years of age, I had a private secretary with a beautiful baritone voice. I told him I would give anything in the world if I could only carry a tune. He laughed and said, 'Anybody who has a voice and perseverance can sing.'

Heber J. Grant

I don't have that kind of voice, the big baritone or rousing tenor sound. My wheelhouse was in the frothier pieces. So my appreciation for those older musicals and revivals grew.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson

You can't sing baritone when you're a soprano.

Jim Crace

I'm a baritone. Baritones don't mature until late.

Joe Bastianich

Because of her interest and demands, I amplified an average baritone voice into one that is loud and clear.

Johnny Olson

I wasn't the best in my class at the Royal Academy. There was a really good soprano and baritone who were technically better and are doing really well in opera now. But I was definitely the best mezzo-soprano in my class, because I was the only one of those!

Katherine Jenkins

I used a baritone guitar with a very unusual tuning that became the body of the composition, while the classical guitar is on top of it with the main rhythm part.

Lee Ritenour

When I was a teenager, my mom got me a really nice baritone ukulele.

Lou Barlow

If you put heavy, regular classic guitar strings on a baritone ukulele, it gets pretty low. It has a really nice, low, warm feel to it.

Lou Barlow

When I was younger, I'd go to the Museum of Television and Radio in New York and watch this beautiful clip of Billie Holiday playing with a bassist, a pianist and Gerry Mulligan, who was a friend of mine, on baritone sax. At one point, she looks over at Gerry, and they just smile. When those moments happen, it's just lovely.

Patti Scialfa

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

Placido Domingo

Nixon, with his mellifluous baritone, was a great politician for radio but creepy on TV.

Richard Corliss

My voice gets recognized before anything else. It's always gotten attention. In choruses at church and school, I started as a tenor, moved to a baritone and finally became a bass. I knew then that my voice would be my instrument. Now if I want to hide, I just keep my mouth shut.

Sam Elliott

I can hit baritone notes, and I can sing in the soprano range if I wanted to. I did this thing a long time ago where I did a duet with myself. I sound like two different people.
