Black & Blue
feat. Joshua Blue and Steven Blier
Fats Waller and Andy Razaf premiered “Black & Blue” 93 years ago and it still detonates as powerfully as the day it was written. Rising tenor Joshua Blue belts it out like nobody’s business, backed up by Steve Blier’s juicy arrangement. And it will be the title track of an album they are planning for next season! Get a taste wherever you stream music.

El dulce de América
feat. Jennifer Aylmer, Oren Fader, James Saporito, and Steven Blier
Created by an unknown composer and poet around 1780, this sweet Spanish-language tune is a cautionary tale of the dangers of indulgence.
