Out Of The Blue

“104 minutes of music which reflects my eclectic taste and love for improvisation. As always, play it loud.”
Blue Lou Marini

My new release is Out Of The Blue a two disc package featuring 13 original big band compositions. On this recording, I have assembled Bluband, some of New York City’s greatest sessions players The album is “new music written for my NY “cats” with no constraints or limitations.” Out Of The Blue features such NYC mainstays as Bob Millikan, Glenn Drewes, Bud Burridge, Birch Johnson, David Taylor, Lawrence Feldman, Dave Riekenburg Zev Katz, Tom Barney, David Spinozza, Buddy Williams and many others.

“We did it live, old style with no headphones or click tracks, which greatly increased the difficulty and my gratitude to the cats for working their asses off playing this challenging music. The result is 104 minutes of music which reflects my eclectic taste and love for improvisation. As always, play it loud!”
