Studio Stu - Studio Stu takes the very best in classic jazz, pop, and originals, and twists them into what he calls 'evocative jazz & exotic lounge'. He starts with obscure pop tunes and a loop machine, except, nothing is sacred.....improv is rampant...lyrics are changed at will...familiar languages are obliterated....yet he's serious, sophisticated and uncompromising in execution. He is one in-tune, out-of-tune, offbeat, beatnik.
