Leave Something Unexplained
Leave Something Unexplained sends critically acclaimed mandolinist Marilynn Mair’s music into new territories and forges new musical alliances along the way. There are duets with Adam Larrabee on guitar and mandocello,and duos and trios with musical friends Paulo Sa and Radim Zenkl. Enigmatica adds a Bach tune, and Marilynn plays some solos, adding bass, percussion, and some of her own tunes to the mix. This is Marilynn’s most personal CD yet, and showcases the breadth of her musical interpretation and the delightful freshness of her musical vision. A reviewer writes: "Smudging the lines between folk and classical is an intrepid endeavor. On Marilynn Mair’s shimmering new CD, Leave Something Unexplained (QORQ),there’s a formalism in play that doesn’t feel formal at all. Mair’s a superb mandolin player who has previously brought the instrument to unexpected places, so it’s not shocking to realize she has ideas about creatively positioning it. But from Villa-Lobos laments to Bach’s “Adagio” she makes the dusc’s broad curatorial choice all sound like they belonged together in the first place.”-Jim Macnie "The Phoenix".TRACK LIST:1.Leave something unexplained.(2:37)–Jim Ten Boske2.Champagne/Diablo(4:02)–Marilynn Mair3.From Treg[ian's] Ground(4:04)–Will Ayton4.From: The Carman’s Whistle(1:55)–Will Ayton5.Gaucho(2:04)–Chiquinha Gonzaga(arr.
