Album Review
Craig Matsumoto
Reviewed 2004-03-13
Jolly, goofy tunes with lots of horns and a playfully Euro-classical feel. A quintet in the vein of Willem Breuker's big band (which is TONS of fun, by the way). Fun stuff, with compositions drawn from bebop and classical complexity, but with very much jazz-oriented soloing.

1- Fast, digging beat; quiets down for solos. Attention-getting opener
2- Mid/fast but with varying speeds
3- Perky, kind of quiet
4- Tango-like. Happy faux-Latin groove later.
5- Mid/fast awkward grooves
6- Fast patter.
7- A bit slower, still complex & fun
8- Steady beat w/long confusing theme. Like spinning in circles until
you fall down
9- Grand happy theme; cool fast trumpet solo
