About This Song
About "The Girl From Mt. Parnassus" by James Mack
The Girl From Mt. Parnassus spins a wry, jazzy vignette. Mack's ensemble paints a portrait of a muse both distant and teasing, the music's easy swing masking a quiet loneliness. It's a postcard from a mythic peak, the tension between ideal and real held in a single, knowing phrase.
