Sunday Music Muse Day - Ben Monder, Bill Frisell

For this week's Sunday Music Muse Day I offer the battle of the "Bs", the Ben Monder and Bill Frisell.  First, Bill Frisell Beautiful Dreamer present another tasty offing of his eclectic and off beat modern Americana music with a usually trio featuring guitar, viola and drums. Well worth a listen, as always.

Interestingly, my second selection, Ben Monder Oceana feature a guitarist who's artist biography on the site All Music by David R. Adler states: "Guitarist Ben Monder has secured his place as one of most identifiable and sought-after stylists on the progressive jazz scene, an heir to the ethereal yet edgy approach of players such as John Abercrombie and Bill Frisell."  This is high praise indeed, comparing him to two of my favorites. I definitely feel the spacy vibe in his music.  I'll have to seek out more of his work.

As winter continues, there is plenty of time to chill out and enjoy some tunes as the snow winds howl outside. Stay warm and Enjoy.
