Guitar Balafonics (Pascal Bokar, 2014)

This guy tends bar and sometimes performs at a jazz club I go to a lot (and is apparently also a professor at USF).  Anyhow this was on sale at the bar and I picked it up.  It doesn't have a lot of evolution as an album but it's a lush take on a collection of standards and I love the way Bokar uses the guitar.





Cure (Kurosawa Kiyoshi, 1997)

My first K Kurosawa, and damn, exceeded expectations, and reminded me I need to start watching more thrillers again.  Masterfully executed; as it got closer to the end I was nervous it wouldn't resolve itself in a satisfying or meaningful way, but I think it does just about what it should have.
