Stephane Wrembel, Carl Amundson & the Modern Guitar Quintet

Welcome to this Sunday Music Muse Day.  First up, Stephane Wrembel Introducing 2001-2010. The first strum of his guitar immediately bring to mind Django Reinhardt, the legendary jazz from the 1930's & 40's most well for his Quintette du Hot Club de France, an dhis recording with violinist Stephane Grappelli.  The two CD set has twist, in the both CD  have the same tunes, just played ten years part. Definitely worth a listen. Wrembel just finished a week of local performances at the  Lovin' Cup, near in Rochester.  I'm sorry I missed him.





My second selection is Carl Amundson & The Modern Guitar Quintet. I admit. I never heard of guitarist, Amundson or the Quintet, but the cover art interested me, and reading the song list, many of the tunes were by classic jazz guitarists from the 1950 and 60s, like Herb Ellis, Jim Hall, Wes Montgomery, and others.  The group sound presents the tunes in the favor of the era.  Again, it's an enjoyable listening experience.




This Sunday Music Muse Day find us enjoying the pride of having done our civic duty and exercising our right to free assembly in joining together to take part in the No Kings Day protest. I left the protest with a sense of hope. I hope you did, too.  Peace
