Reviews

  • "The musicians here are from Jacksonville, Floida. They are very fine, polished performers, and Jacksonville is lucky to have them This is the kind of music you hear of a lot on NPR: gentle, expertly played, and recorded in a moderately resonant acoustic. I could imagine putting this disc on to accompany Sunday brunch "
