A wild, tempestuous, musical ride that will leave you breathless by the end; pretty much normal for Taraf De Haidouks.

A great album full of fun New Orleans style jazz and first-class musicianship.

If Rick Mercer Report can make an iconoclast like me think seriously about why I love my country, think what it can do for you.

A disc of high spirited New Orleans style Jazz played by people who obviously love the music.

A fitting tribute to one of the greatest Jazz saxophone players that ever lived.

If this disc is any indication, the Jazz Icons series is probably worth owning -- at least the discs that feature your favorite players.

...a disc that will best be appreciated by people who already know the band, not someone hearing it for the first time.

Lady Day: The Master Takes And Singles is one of the best tributes to Billie Holiday that I've heard and seen yet.

Stace England has created another excellent song cycle about the history of his home state of Illinois

You can buy this disc for its historical significance...but the best reason for getting a copy is that it's great music.
