Outside In Music is honored to release Bianca: Music for Paws and Persistence, GRAMMY-nominated drummer/composer Dan Pugach’s second album as a leader, on March 8, 2024. This is an extraordinary big band jazz project that finds its inspiration in a most unexpected place: animal rescue. Inspired by his own pitbull Bianca and fueled by his passion for animal rescue, Pugach masterfully draws upon his personal experiences to compose these works. Inspired by his companion, Dan wrote the title composition in her honor. He wrote the melody to match Bianca’s memorable and gentle demeanor. When Bianca passed in 2019, he rewrote the piece for big band, and it won the Charlie Parker Composition Prize and Manny Albam Commission for Big Band. This recognition helped catalyze Dan to turn his dog-inspired work into this honorific album.
