I'm trying to get be on track for my Sunday Music Muse Day postings. The past several weeks has been family medical events involving elder in-laws, that required my help, and attention. Luckily, the issues have beem resolved, everyone is doing fine. So here's quick look at two recent pick-ups. First up, Vijay Iyer Solo. The title says it all, as it a 2010 solo piano recording featuring original compositions, and several Duke Elligonton tunes, which my favorites on the CD. to be honest this I didn't find much that standout in the session. I also admit, I'm not a big solo jazz piano fan. I do have several of Iyer's CDs and generally find group outings adventurous and challenging. So, please take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Next up, Miles Davis & Robert Glasper Everything's Beautiful. It's one of the those releases that has spoken words, Miles Davis studio banter, and Rap poetry, It comes off more like a conceptual art piece than musical one. Interesting in parts, but again, you'll have to take my opinion with grain of salt.
So, outside my window, it's a sunny day and the warmest, near 70º, it's been in months, giving us a tease of spring. But we know better, here in Rochester, as it's been known to snow in mid-April. Don't put away your winter coats yet. Enjoy.
