Here's my Sunday Music Muse Day, one day off a(I had a busy weekend). First up is Charlie Mingus Anthology Thirteen Pictures. This a nice 2 CD collection of thirteen must have Mingus tunes, including my favorite Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, his tribute to tenor saxophonist, Lester Young. This Rhino release comes in a cardboard sleeve, cloth-covered CD holder, and 50 page liner note booklet. It's a nice addition to my collection.
Next is Avishai Cohn Into the Silence, a trumpet player who, at first I got confused with the bassist with the same name who played with Chick Corea's Origin group. This being a ECM release, I automatically picked it. It has a modern European jazz feel. Well worth a listen.
Okay, hopefully, I'm back on track for my Sunday Music Muse Day posts. I'd like to thank Tom Pethic for having me as a guest DJ on his Artistry in Jazz radio show on Jazz90.1, this past Saturday afternoon, featuring music of my father, Sam Woodyard, drummer for Duke Ellington from the mid-1950s to early 70's, until Duke died. I had a lot of fun. I know we'll do it again sometime.
