On this sunny and warm Sunday Music Muse Day, it actually seems like spring has finally arrived. The grass is turning green, trees and flowers are blooming. All in all, it's a good day to enjoy new music. First up, Brad Mehldau Trio Live, a two CD set recorded at the legendary Village Vanguard in NYC, October 11-15, 2006. With Mehldau on piano, Larry Grenadier on bass, and Jeff Ballard on drum. Mehldau once came to my attention with his jazzy renditions of rock tunes, like Beatles' songs. He has esoteric style with a hint of avant-garde in his playing, but never too much to be off-putting, just adventurous. Worth a listen.
Next up is Julian Lage The Layers. This EP CD featuring the guitarist teaming with guitarist Bill Frisell on five of the six tracks, all six originals of Lage. It's nice mellow affair, which could fall into the modern Americana music Frisell is known for, with lot of acoustic guitar playing by both.
I hope the weather is nice wherever you are, and you get to enjoy it.
