Band
in Blue
Duke
jupiter's 3rd album (1980) with Mercury Records, is
named after a song on the album: a song about a band
that's burned out from the road, but has to keep rockin'
anyway. The music was a mirror of where the band was
at the time.
This
project was recorded In NYC and produced by Steve Katz,
the guitarist for Blood Sweat and Tears. When Duke
contracted Katz to produce the project he was a vice
president
at Mercury Records: the band felt he was a good choice,
politically speaking. But—a few days
into the recording session we found out he'd been fired
by Mercury Records! Ouch!
