The mischievous delays on Night in Tunisia, the pizzicato interlude on Ruby My Dear, the deep- register walkin cello on Stolen Moments, the contrasting light and shade of a stunning Milestones - all show thought and wit at work here. Most of the arrangements are by D. Balakrishnan, who also contributes Tremors and Skylife û both are pastoral and lilting in effect - and his touch rarely deserts him. At times, the violins are too close to Grappelli for my comfort, but his infectious swing is just what this set needed to lift it from valient attempt to outright success. Another good reason to visit Prague. --Simon Adams, Jazz Journal International · ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-··-·-·-·- · Track Listing: 01. A Night in Tunisia (Gillespie/Paparelli) [05:44] 02.

May as well blame it on us, however we know who's been here first, and we never intended to be changing names just because they haven't done that themselves. Apart from that, cheers, ladies and gentlemen, and enjoy the show!
