"Can you say, 'talk to me' ...
mercy, mercy, mercy, what's a man to do ... all he ever gives is
true. That's Lou Malandra, remarkably honest ... tells a story
with great passion and emotion. The Lou Malandra trio demands
your attention, gets it, and then, gets "Inside You'; it's not just
poetry, it's POEJAZZ!"
Carlos Lando,
Program Director, KUVO Jazz Radio
"Every once in a while someone
comes down the pike offering an engaging new twist to the jazz-trio
tradition. Jimmy Guiffre did it with an unusual mix of
instruments. Lou Malandra follows that same path by
integrating spoken word into his threesome. This trio is a trip!"
Norm Provizer,
Jazz Writer, the Rocky Mountain News, Denver
"The first
time I heard these cats, they were playing in a tough, crowded jazz
club. Within the first few moments, everyone was mesmerized.
You could hear a pin drop. Everyone stopped fraternizing and
listened, cause these cats are so unique and together in their work.
Every syllable, every note, right in the pocket. Their CD "Out
of our Silence" is a brilliant union of muse and music".
Carlos Lando,
Program Director, KUVO Jazz Radio
"Jack Kerouac would
be happy to hear the works on this compact disc ... One can tell it
was professionally put together and well thought out. It is
well worth our time".
Larry Hollis,
Cadence Jazz Magazine, NYC
"This disc is
simply marvelous ... The Lou Malandra Trio shows how to really send
the message of PoeJazz home with sublime simplicity".

"Ken Nordine and
Jean Shephard made careers out of it. Now Denver has a 90's
version. Malandra is an empathic reader of poems, and he
writes in an enthusiastic and accessible style".
Jeff Bradley,
The Denver Post
