This first September Sunday Music Muse Day find me presenting two selection from two different ends of the music spectrum. First is Shakti This Moment, the CD celebrating the 50th anniversary tour of the legendary group featuring John McLaughlin, playing Indian inspired music. It makes me feel old to say I saw the original group, in NYC, on their first tour. I had hoped to see a 50th tour date in Newark, NJ, in late August, but it wasn't possible. So I have this CD to enjoy instead.
From the mystical sounds of Shakti we move to the opposite edge of the musical spectrum with the music of the Detroit Rising, A Cosmic Jazz Funk Adventure. I have to admit, the cover art and graphics were the first draw. It reminded me a little of the art of Android Jones. The collective of musicians played with P-Funk, The Parliaments, Prince and Herbie Hancock, so if you like George Clinton and Funkadelics you might found this interesting. It definitely has the Jazz-Funk groove. A little unfocused for my taste, but worth a listen.
So, with Labor Day, summer is over. Let look forward to good days again.
Finally got over to BopShop on Saturday. Great store, I have to get used to all the music categories. Both me/wife got a album. I've got to get better at finding deals cause even used LPs are $$ and NEW ones $$$$$$ :(
