Search - Michael Musillami :: Those Times

Versatile guitarist Michael Musillami follows-up his acclaimed May release, Beijing, with the debut recording from his all-star working quartet. A bit of a departure from his many recordings of more experimental original music, Those Times showcases Musillami's under appreciated ability to interpret music as a guitarist and bandleader. Each of the pieces selected, ranging from the standard "It Can Happen to You," to Sam Rivers' "Beatrice," has influenced him throughout his two decade career. "These melodies are part of my musical personality," he writes in the liner notes. "I love playing the standard jazz repertoire."
