A follow-up to Alex Martin's 2007 release "Nostalgia for Terra Incognita" (Pajarito Verde Records), recorded with his quartet Amerique Latine, "Second Life" (2010) is a more acoustic and intimate recording, focusing on Martin's guitar in a trio context (with expert contributions from bassist Ron Brendle and drummer Thomas Garner). It features 10 of Martin's compositions, a traditional Breton melody arranged for jazz trio, and Wayne Shorter's beautiful bossa ballad "Ana Maria."
