Catch Blue Lou Marini if you can. This veteran of the New York saxophone scene has been consistently in demand for nearly 40 years with no signs of stopping in sight. Best-known as a member of The Blues Brothers, and original Saturday Night Live Band, multi-instrumentalist Marini has carved out a career for a who’s who of popular  music. He has performed and recorded with a range of artists including – and certainly not limited to - Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Steely Dan, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, and Frank Zappa. Marini’s many television and film credits are well-documented however many may not realize Blue Lou has arranged for and played with many of the big band greats such as Woody Herman, Stan Kenton and Doc Severinsen among others.

Lou Marini was born in 1945 and later attended North Texas State where he was a member of the famed One O’Clock lab band. Following a few years and a failed marriage in Texas, he moved to Manhattan’s Upper West Side in 1971. The rest as they say is history.

Wolfe Tayne is a legendary name among saxophone mouthpiece manufacturers, professional musicians and entrepreneurs in the music manufacturing business. The same Wolfe Taninbaum - now 90 years old - had an illustrious career playing in the studios and sound stages in New York during the Big Band Era of days gone by. His seven-year tenure with Les Brown's Band of Renown is well documented. However, he also shared the stage with big band greats Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey, Doris Day and the studio orchestras at NBC and CBS. His self-starter spirit has seen him envision and develop companies including Wolfe Tayne Music Studios, Wolfe Tayne Mouthpieces and BARI, Inc. - all the while maintaining a place among New York's finest recording musicians dating back to the 1930s and 1940s.

Wolfe Taninbaum, a native of Mt. Vernon, New York, has been living in South Florida for nearly 30 years. He still resides in Ft. Lauderdale where he enjoys a "boring life" among other retirees. In June of 2007, Wolfe Taninbaum lost his wife Sylvia to a long-term illness. He and Sylvia were married for almost 67 years and shared many successes as well as challenges along the way. His feelings of loss were still raw at the time of this interview but Wolfe Taninbaum continues to move forward. He still seeks to help others with mouthpiece facings and the search for the perfect mouthpiece.

Sal Lozano is one of the most sought-after saxophonists and woodwind players working in Los Angeles today. Equally comfortable in the theater, studio or on stage as a featured member of Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, Sal’s presence has become somewhat expected among section players in Los Angeles. Although his name may not be familiar, this native Californian is one of the most recorded woodwind players in recent years. During the past three years, his visibility has increased with his weekly contributions on the hit shows Dancing With The Stars and American Idol.

In addition to his commercial success, Sal Lozano remains a wonderful jazz soloist, serious woodwind player and of course - trained saxophonist. He has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, San Diego Symphony and the Riverside Philharmonic.
