First, apologies for skipping a Sunday Music Muse Day post last week. I just wasn't up for it. So, let's move ahead to this week. First up is Tord Gustavsen The Well. This is a 2012 ECM release and in the ECM tradition, it's an introspective piano music experience, which, when you're in the mood, it is nice to listen to.
Next is Rez Abbasi Acoustic Quartet, actually a rerun of an old blog post. I missed a live solo gig at he proformed at Eastman Museum last week, so I put this on my CD player to make up for That. I'll forgive Res, who wrote the CD liner notes, for sounding like a pretentious jerk in thinking he doing anything but reinventing the wheel. I was at the beginning of jazz fusion, which he wrote on the liner, that he skipped that period when he was studying jazz. When you're late to the party, you don't get to disrespect the pioneers who came before you. Time will tell if Abbasi's music stands the test of time. I like the tunes Rez selected, all are instantly recognized and associated with the jazz-fuzion musician who wrote them. . It's worth listening to.
So, that it for this week Sunday Music Muse Day. Have a great week. Peace.
