|
SF-based jazz inspired by European folk and café music. Great playing and a delicious mix of styles. They slide over musical boundaries and take bits of here and there. Instrumentals w/more than a touch of Balkan folk. 1. Relaxed and sweet gypsy-based sweetness w/a modern touch. *2. Sweet late-night tango-infused, lightly jazzy. *3. Downtempo, lyrical, wistful and sophisticated. 4. Midtempo music box w/a debt to Klezmer and a nod to jazz. 5. Dreamy downtempo jazz w/some sweetly melodic bits 6. Sad and nostalgic downtempo memory. *7. Lightly bouncing w/tripping strings. Very cool. *8. Plinky, bluegrassy, midtempo goodness. Cool trumpet! 9. Cello starts the drama. Only :49. Short and slow, leads into 10. 10. Piano, light percussion, a warm and gently sweeping sound. | ||
