Martinis and New Music from George Shearing
We went out to The Blind Pig last night to hear Jason DJ. I was really impressed with all the new music he had. Okay, it’s not really new, of course. The guy is pretty much stuck in another decade, but he had a lot of new vinyl that I’ve never heard. The coolest thing was an old George Shearing album called Mood Latino. That guy was so inventive and he really had a feel for whatever style of music he decided to play. It all sounds like Shearing, but every project also had a very distinctive sound all its own. He never made the same record twice.
We had a great time. They mix a terrific Martini at the Pig.
