This Sunday Music Muse Day finds me enjoying Mimi Fox, She's the Woman. The title refers to the fact she's a female guitarist, and it seems that even in this day and age, it's still considered a novelty. She has established herself as a solid straight-ahead guitar player, who can hold her own with the likes of Kenny Burrell, who she joined as part of the Heritage Guitar All-Star Night. I'm lucky to have several of her CDs, and enjoy playing them often. You will, too.
Next up, is Jonathon Haffner, Life on Wednesday. Honestly, I picked this CD up not knowing a thing about the leader, saxophonist, Hafnfer. I chose this purely on having CDs by guitarist Wayne Krantz, that a like, and to a lesser extent, pianist Craig Taborn. This is a loose jazz fusion affaire, slightly rough around the edges. I'll have to give several more listens to nail down a final thumbs up, or down.
Like everyone else, I'm trying to brace myself for the ongoing sh*t storm in politics we're entered. The best we can hope is keep the fight to insure we can demand free elections in 4 years at the least. Keep fighting and looking out for each other, and we'll see better days. Peace.
