Vintage Guitar Magazine Review:

(5 out of 5 stars)

"New Orleans artist and guitarist Tony Green plays jazz manouche with a rare sensibility. His playing is so fluid and relaxed that it creates a trance that draws you into the long lines of diminished arpeggios; when the song is over you wake as if from a dream...And the trio complements and emphasizes each other's playing as few bands can. Tony Green and his band can swing with the best of them."

Lively passionate music

"There is great variety on this disc, from the rampant Hungarian-style first track to the restrained delicacy of the last. Both the playing and the recording quality are superb. Tony Green is both an accomplished painter and muralist and a passionate, disciplined musician. This disc captures one peak moment in his music-making, and it ranks among the best of the gypsy jazz genre. If you like it, check out recordings by Matelo and Baro Ferret, Raphael Fays, Paris Musette, Fapy Lafertin, Thierry Robin, and (if you can find 'em) Waso. A beautiful, beautiful record."
