This Sunday Music Muse Day find us observing several religious holidays. I wish everyone a happy and peace observance of your respective faith. In that spirit, I share my musical selection for the day, First up Jan Garbarek In the Praise of Dreams. This is one of his many ECM recordings, as a leader, and sideman he has note worthing and long career. I admit sometimes I find his saxophone playing a little shrill, but still overall enjoyable. This is a good session.
My second choice is Bobby Hutcherson In the Vanguard. This is live recording at the legendary Village Vanguard jazz club in New York City. A veteran jazz player Hutcherson play vibes and marimba (which I love the sound of) leading a stellar group including Kenny Barron on piano, Buster Williams on bass and Al Foster on drums. Although this CD get 4/5 star from online jazz critic, I found the sound and mix of the CD to be troubling, rather muddy to my ear. Made in 1987, it might be a early digital recording. So it goes.
So, again, hope everyone enjoys their weekend not matter how you observe it. As long as you do it with love and music. Peace.
