Album Review

Reviewed 2006-10-15
Chamber classical meets jazz -- this is a string quartet plus two saxophones. Mostly upbeat stuff, often with the swing feel of jazz but sometimes coming across as straight string-quartet work, in an accessible "20th Century" vein.

1- Upbeat and swingy, with a slow interlude. Jazzy
2- Graceful, artsy. Slowish; gets sweet later.
3- Ellington-jazzy, with a cool buildup intro. Includes an unaccompanied sax solo and a swirly string freak-out
4- Classical feel, gentle, playful, & (for one late segment) spacey.
5- Smoky '50s horn line
6- Catchy, chunky rhythm, fun. Playful classical stuff.
7- Floating classical feel, maybe a bit morose
8- Upbeat jazzy jumping, nice midtempo swing rhythm.
9- Happy skippy old-time jazz
