Struttin' Up Bourbon (official video from "Müller's Wheel")

"Müller's Wheel" is a collection of original jazz tunes that move from swing into bop into funk into fusion, although most every track has an element of bop-funk. Each tune has true personality and displays the jazz chops of every player.

The original project, titled "The Muller's Wheel", was released as a digital album in 2011. Success led the producers to release a remastered version on CD the following year.

The album is a collaboration between keyboardist Tobin Mueller and saxophonist Woody Mankowski. Most of the tracks are performed by a quartet, a few have a full ensemble, and a few are multi-layered duets in which Tobin and Woody play multiple instruments. These original tracks represent their personal journey through jazz influences: Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Herbie Hancock, The Brecker Brothers, Weather Report... Even the blues: ("Struttin' Up Bourbon"). In all, the duo's originality permeate each track, each jazz sub-genre.
