Mimi Fox Perpetually Hip CD

 Exceptional musicianship
I consider Mimi Fox an exceptional musician with lots of technique and improvisational creativity. The 1st disc in the album where she is performing with other musicians really showcases her improvisational skills. I know she took lessons from and borrowed a lot from the late great Joe Pass and it really comes out on the 2nd disc when she's playing solo guitar. Like all great jazz musicians, you borrow elements from other musicians but you make it your own. Mimi has succeeded in making it her own.

 Mimi Swings!
This is a 2 CD set of excellent, straight-ahead jazz guitar. Disc 1 has Mimi playing in primarily a band setting. Harvie S. is on bass, Billy Hart on Drums and the marvelous Xavier Davis is "tickling the ivories". Disc 2 is just Mimi playing some very beautiful solo guitar. Mimi's playing is crisp, clear and melodic throughout. If you like Jazz guitar in the style of Joe Pass and Pat Metheny, then you won't be disappointed by this 2 CD set.

 you need to add more stars for this cd
if you want a cd set that encompasses what jazz guitar is all about then stop reading and order this cd. its straight-ahead, backwards, and up-side-down guitar genius. if you like blazing melodic runs than pop in the first cd. if your a fan of solo guitar then throw in the second cd, and wait to be amazed. this set is first class on every dimension. i don't give praise like this for fun, i give it for content. i'm an old school advocate, i like joe pass, johnny smith, wes mongomery and tal farlow. mimi fox has been added to my list of favorite jazz heroes. if you want to renew your lust for innovative and soulful jazz, let mimi' guitar whisper into your ear.
