Raul Midon - The Mirror

Singer/songwriter and guitarist Raul Mid�n is on an undeniable roll. After GRAMMY� Award nominations for his two previous Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group releases - Bad Ass & Blind and If You Really Want, each for Best Jazz Vocal Album - he returns with his 11th studio album and fourth for the label: The Mirror, to be released March 13, 2020. The Mirror finds Mid�n breaking new ground for himself, including two entrancing solo spoken-word pieces (If I Could See and One Day Without War). The album also features studio meetings with such veteran jazz colorists as vibraphonist Joe Locke (A Certain Caf�), as well as a songwriting collaboration with top pianist Gerald Clayton, Deep Dry Ocean. Another highlight is the road-weary jazz ballad Cold Cuts and Coffee, while title track The Mirror beguiles with its easy tropical groove, lyrical sophistication and Mid�n's flowing electric guitar. As National Public Radio set the stage before his captivating edition of its Tiny Desk Concert broadcast: Raul Mid�n lives in a world of sound. Blind since birth, Mid�n's interpretation of his surroundings is borderless. He sings with the passion of the best classic soul singers, and his instrumental chops stand alongside the most accomplished jazz musicians.
