My Muse is an album by pianist George Cables, which he dedicated to his late wife, that was recorded in 2012 and released on the HighNote label.
[1][2][3] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek said "My Muse is easily one of George Cables' outstanding releases in his extensive discography".
[4] NPR Music reviewer Kevin Whitehead stated "He's a terrific pianist, but his new album is short on flashy gestures and long on tuneful refinement.
[7] On All About Jazz, Greg Simmons called it "a collection of uplifting and, frankly, happy-sounding originals and standards" and stated "There is a lot of great playing and terrific music on My Muse.
While he tends to simmer down his more wild, passionate turns at the piano for warmth and tenderness on this release, George Cables' sound is still recognisable, and My Muse stands out as a touching concept album in his lengthy and impressive discography".
