Album Review
Craig Matsumoto
Reviewed 2006-12-29
Upbeat acoustic music, led by violin, blending Mediterranian folk with some jazz and even Klezmer. Grust musicians include some lite-jazz heroes (Mike Marshall, Andy Narell), but this is mostly energetic, driving stuff.

2- Nicely upbeat
4,8 - Good slower pieces
5- Tres Euro cafe
6- Speedy accordion solo
9- Cool Tango-esque bit
10- Very fast
11- Classical feel, with piano
12- Fast, with some great soloing on marimba (Joel Davel of Amy X. Neuburg & Men) and accordion.
