This Sunday Music Muse Day, I have three legendary jazz musicians to share with you. First, Joe Pass Joy Spring, a live quartet club performances recorded in1964. This classic jazz guitar playing at its best. There's not much to said except, if you come across this CD buy it and give it a listen.
Next, is Chet Baker and Bill Evans The Complete Legendary Sessions. I admit, although I've known of these jazz giants or since my twenties, it's only been in the last ten years or so that I've picked up their recording on a regular basis. Maybe it was musical maturity or just stepping beyond my guitar-centric music listening comfort zone. As the liner note states: "...Chet Baker and Bill Evans were both Highly lyrical and introspective player." who I now can appreciate fully. This CD is the complete collection of their collaborations. Both musicians live troubled lives due to ongoing battles with drugs and inner devils. The music on their CD make me wish they had more opportunities to play together.
So, as we roll in to a new month, summer is near, and time for more summer festivals and outdoor music. In this stressful times, take a break and enjoy as much music as you can. It's good for the soul.
