This Sunday Music Muse Day, finds the weather feeling more like fall, cooler, than end of summer. My two selections are from musicians who need no introduction from me that could do them proper justice. First, is Pat Martino with Jim Ridi Nexus. Jim Ridi is new to me, but the liner notes state he was "a longtime member of the guitarist's quartet and valued duet partner for ten years." So, now I learned something. I admit, I first became aware of Pat from my friend Rodney Means, who, I think, saw him play in Philadelphia. I was more aware of him from his first guitar synthesizer albums. I'm delighted to still find Pat Martino recordings I don't have. This one's keeper.
Next, is Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden Jasmine. Again, I'm not a completest when it comes to collecting any musician's music, but I enjoy finding recordings I don't have, by great musicians like this duo. This a wonderfully intimate piano/bass duet session. Well worth seeking out.
So, this weekend also is the start of the pro football season, let's hope your favorite team wins. I don't really follow football much, since my son, Devin's, football career end when he graduated U of R. I'll watch an occasional game, and the playoffs, and of course, the Super Bowl. I have other ways to waste my time, like listen into music. Enjoy.
