This week's Sunday Music Muse Day post features two drummer i enjoy. First, the Miles Brown Trio. I hadn't heard the leader, bassest Miles Brown, or his father Steve Brown, but I'm good friends with drummer, Rich Thompson. (I looked the group up online)So, that why I bought the CD. This is 2009 recording of original copositions and jazz standards. There Rich Thompson tune "More or Less" I knew from his own recording as a leader. This is solid jazz trio outing, worth giving it a listen.
My second selection is Bill Bruford - Michiel Borstlap - In Two Minds. I must admit this is a much more subdued outing you'd expect from the former King Crimson drummer and leader of his own jazz fusion band. The liner notes state: "This music was recorded direct to CD...(at a concert)...Audience noise and applause has been removed...The music was improvised without proir discussion..." Sound like they were going for almost a free jazz concert. recording. I like the results.
So that's this weeks post. Enjoy the last day of summer and the school year begins for many. Peace.
