Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5
1) Jazz Expert Plays Exactly What She Wants to Play [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Joe Pass, the premiere Jazz guitarist, said of Mimi Fox, that she can play anything she wants. Her ability was evident to JoePass, as it is to anyone experienced in Jazz music who listens to her playing. In this set she reminds me of Jim Hall with her perfect timing and close playing with other instruments. Thelaid back style is exactly the mood intended. On her other albums where she plays variations of rock songs like "Kicks" byPaul Revere and the Raiders, or R&B riffs with a B3 Organ, shecan really rip into the music, and her bebop tunes are a wonder to hear. She is a genius, and each album is a special treat, tailored to her expression, because what she playsis what she means to play, and she has that gift to entertain just by playing.2) An Exquisite Treasure [Rating: 5 out of 5]
With the exception of the first song which I, personally, did not care for, this CD weaves a spell of introspection and shimmering beauty, often starting very tentatively, but always provocatively, then suddenly steeping out, but in a controled, uptown kind of way, where everyone is for sure cooking together, but still with the utmost of coolness. Adding to the delight are the twists of color that Ms. Fox throws in so casually when one least expects it. Her guitar playing is flawless, but it's her sensitivity and quiet playfulness that make this CD such a savory pleasure.
