Great Story About Great Musicians
Lowen and Navarro have been an under-appreciated duo for a long time. Lowen's illness forcing the recruitment of their friend is bittersweet. Sessa does a nice job presenting the respect and emotion in the 4 minutes. I'll presume that was the time limit. If there were more time, I'd have loved to hear Lowen + Navarro music come up once or twice, especially when Glaser talks about Lowen's guitar skill ("Maybe Tomorrow It Will Rain" comes to mind). And if Lowen had been available to be interviewed, it'd have been great to hear his buoyant spirit - which I happened to know, from interviewing them myself- is never in short supply. Still a nice piece... well done.
