Mostly original compositions in the Gypsy Jazz tradition. Jorgenson is one hell of a good guitarist (and not a bad clarinet & trombone player either). Joined by viola, violin, bass, percussion, cello and other strings. Django would approve. I know I do. One star every track, it’s all so good. Total happy music. 1. Light, upbeat and happy and driving. Instantly catchy. 2. Starts slow then a delicious midtempo bounce w/slower flourishes. 3. Dramatic Flamenco-inspired intro to #4. Solo guitar, slow then fast. 4. Upbeat, Andalusian-flavored jam w/wonderful blend of strings. 5. Sweetly retro and relaxed w/warm fem vocals. 6. Midtempo w/lots of strings echoing sharp lead guitar. 7. Swinging clarinet on a bright and breezy romp. So cool! 8. Upbeat swing w/a Latin accent. 9. Fast and furious w/a hyper-cartoony energy. Yow! Love it. 10. Slow, ends fast. Lush strings, dramatic energy. Lovely. 11. Similar to #10. Slow & delicate w/a quiet sort of emotional power. 12. A more modern sound. A driving, upbeat meander w/energy. | ||
