  Lou Marini Jr. @ All About Jazz
Lou, Jr (from this point on I will refer to him as ‘Lou’) made his way to North Texas State University in 1963 and studied clarinet as well as played, at first alto and then tenor sax (as well as all of the flute family and clarinets) in the Lab Band Program.
Lou also has the advantage having a distinct solo voice on all three saxophones (soprano, alto and tenor) as well as a tasteful style on flute and with that personal touch he is able to wrap his ‘orchestral voice’ around his ‘instrumental voice’, with beautiful results.
Lou had become a member of the Texas Tenor club from his years playing around the state and it was natural for his soul-lo style to fit into the context of the movie and band.

Lou Marini showed up last Saturday night at the Lotus Leaf, a small Vietnamese restaurant in Cary, NC, as part of a dinner party booked by Frank Corbi, his former saxophone teacher.

Marini delivers equal measures of guts and grace, while the underrated Beck nearly steals the spotlight with his distinctive voicings and floating tone (perfect for the two Creedence Clearwater Revival covers).
