About Out of the Blue

Out of the Blue, also known as OTB, was an American jazz ensemble founded by Blue Note Records in the 1980s as a showcase for the label's younger musicians. They formed in 1984, releasing four albums and touring extensively over the next five years. Their most commercially successful album was 1986's Live at Mt. Fuji, which reached #9 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart. The lineup changed occasionally over this time, and the group disbanded in 1989 after its members moved on to solo careers. Members edit: Michael Philip Mossman - trumpet, Kenny Garrett - alto saxophone, Ralph Bowen - tenor saxophone, Harry Pickens - piano, Robert Hurst - bass, Ralph Peterson, Jr. - drums, Kenny Davis - bass, Steve Wilson - alto saxophone, Renee Rosnes - piano, Billy Drummond - drums
