Fan Comment

I liked this album so much I’ve purchased it twice. This is my favorite recording. The arrangements are superb, the musicians are so talented and inventive with their variations of each tune. I’ve recommended it to many friends just for what they can learn from listening while enjoying the energy here. Great tune choices too.
