JPs Music

by James Pasinsky

Earlier this year, jazz outfit, Blue Muse, released their second full-length album titled “It Never Entered My Mind.” This septet brings you back to the glory days of jazz with their new set of six cover songs, beginning with their classic take on Wayne Shorter’s “One By One,” which finds Blue Muse locked into the groove. They slowly move along the Rodgers and Hart ballad “It Never Entered My Mind,” before delivering the exciting horns of Horace Silver’s “Nutville” and the patriotic roll of Joe Sample’s “Freedom Sound.” The Blue Muse wrap up their latest release with another Wayne Shorter original, the swinging tempo of “Ping Pong,” which keeps each member on their toes during this swift-moving number.
