Buddy Blue'sfirst all-jazz album, "Sordid Lives" is a hip, subterranean journey back to a time before jazz had any unfortunate adjectives such as "smooth," "acid" or "fusion" attached to it. From the beat poetry of "Conversation With The Bottle" to the cool thrum of "Horn Rims;" from the mania of "Saint James Infirmary" to the atonal astonishment of "Uptown At Minton's," Blue pays homage to jazz roots with all the passion, style and irreverence that fans have come to expect of him. Includes both new material and jazz re-arrangements of many of Blue's best-known tunes.
