2020 release. The Mirror finds Raul Midón breaking new ground for himself, including two entrancing solo spoken-word pieces. The album also features studio meetings with such veteran jazz colorists as vibraphonist Joe Locke, as well as a songwriting collaboration with top pianist Gerald Clayton. A highlight is the road-weary jazz ballad "Cold Cuts and Coffee," while title track "The Mirror" beguiles with it's easy tropical groove, lyrical sophistication and Midón's flowing electric guitar.
