NEW YORK, NY -- The nationwide radio campaign for experimental jazz sextet Out To Lunchs sophomore album Melvin's Rockpile (Accurate Records) which hit the airwaves the first week of February , 2010 is gaining wide acceptance in the jazz radio community in the United States and Canada. Charting briskly on the CMJ Jazz charts, over 60 stations and syndicated programs from New York City to California and Winnipeg to Colorado currently have added Melvin's Rockpile into heavy rotation resulting in Out To Lunch heating up the jazz radio charts.

The New York City based ensemble is proud to present its refreshing sound to the world. Band leader David Levy notes, “Out To Lunch has created a fresh and organic groove jazz sound that advances the current experimental jam medium. We are grateful to all of our audiences for supporting our unique cross-over style.

Re-launching their residency in New York City, Out To Lunch currently perform the second Saturday of every month at the East Village hotspot, NUBLU. After three successful years of establishing themselves as a local favorite in the same venue, the adventurous groove sextets live performances have become a mainstay on the underground NYC experimental jazz scene.

Riding on the success of Melvin's Rockpile, the critically acclaimed Out To Lunch join ranks of other dynamic experimental jam outfits including Medeski, Martin and Wood, Jazz Mandolin Project, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and Josh Roseman. Breaking from the precedent set by other highly touted artists in their genre , Out To Lunch create an entirely unique signature sound by fusing a full horn section with the bands rhythm section, and crossing their organic instrumentation with live electronica.

Melvin's Rockpile feeds listeners improvisational imagination with electric post-bop meets jazz-funk energy while continuously challenging the listeners aesthetic sensibility and captivating a cross-culture of audiences everywhere.
