(new) Washington Post review 5/31/02

"The tunes are gems from the Great American Songbook. The listener always remembers that the band isn't just 'playing' -- they are interpreting songs. These virtuoso players never overwhelm the music. They do inspire each other and thereby create beautiful music."
Andy Bienstock, Jazz DJ and Program Manager, WYPR, Baltimore, Maryland
