Female Saxophonist led Blue Muse releases, It Never Entered My Mind

Blue Muse was formed in 2013 after saxophonist Sarah Lee left her 20-year career in Information Technology and pursued her passion, jazz. While attending Jacksonville University she brought together a group of eclectic and passionate jazz musicians which became Blue Muse. Six years after releasing their debut album Blue Muse Live, the group made it back into the studio during 2020 and recorded It Never Entered My Mind.

Blue Muse has performed at venues all over the southeast including the Jacksonville Jazz Festival After Dark series and will begin a summer tour 2021 at venues such as Arts Garage, Delray Beach. Their debut release Blue Muse Live reached #6 on the CMJ Jazz charted on the Roots Music Jazz charts.

t Never Entered My Mind culminates the group's love for harmony with horns, akin to such groups as, the Jazz Messengers. Hard swing, soul jazz and west coast cool combine to transport the listener to a moment in time where jazz was cooler than cool.
