George Schuller:
Lookin' Up from Down Below |
 Latest in a long line of musical
Schullers, George is one of Boston's (and New York's!)
favorite jazz drummers and composers, as well as being the
driving force behind the popular little big band Orange Then Blue.
For his first recording as leader,
George has assembled some of the top players from New
England's extensive jazz scene and set them loose on a
collection of his own tunes. A stunning, visionary
debut from a mature and gifted musician.
(See also George's recordings as leader
of Orange
Then Blue.)

"A quality release, with just enough
challening 'out' playing to interest the die-hard
avant-guardist and enough mainstream appeal to be
accessible to the rest of the listening
public." —Cadence |
