She plays with tremendous fire.
She can do pretty much anything she
wants on the guitar.

- Joe Pass
With the ambitious two-CD set Perpetually Hip, her seventh release as a leader, Mimi Fox once again displays the masterful command of the fretboard that has led to her being named a winner in five consecutive Down Beat Magazine International Critics Polls (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007). She has also been profiled in that magazine's special feature, "66 Hot 6-Stringers: Down Beat's Look at the Guitarists Making Today's Scene," which presented "66 guitarists in the worlds of jazz, blues, and beyond whose work is innovating, invigorating, and perpetuating the guitar tradition."

With Perpetually Hip her eagerly awaited follow-up to the acclaimed She's The Woman, her debut on Steve Vai's Favored Nations Cool label, Fox distinguishes herself in both group and solo settings. Accompanied by a stellar cast of New York players in pianist Xavier Davis, bassist Harvie S and drummer Billy Hart, Fox displays her warm, clean tone in a variety of moods on the group disc, ranging from urgent bop-fueled romps and earthy blues to gorgeous ballads, alluring bossas and sensuous sambas, while showcasing her own originals. In the more intimate and revealing solo disc, she takes great liberties in interpreting some well known jazz standards while also preserving the melodic integrity of timeless gems from the great American songbook, covering Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Hoagy Carmichael. Throughout Perpetually Hip, Fox offers a fresh take on the jazz guitar tradition while also paying respect to her biggest six-string influences - Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, and Pat Martino.
