Chamber-jam music for the "remix generation." Eastern-European and Gypsy melodies, Latin rhythms, Jazz-inspired improvisations, and deeply rooted classical forms fearlessly forge a new direction, with a nostalgic gaze to the past. Served with a smooth Armenian brandy.
Ljova, viola and fadolin
Inna Barmash, vocal
Patrick Farrell, accordion
Mike Savino, bass & banjo
John Hadfield, percussion
"Eclectic, with an ear for texture...throaty melodies supported by pizzicato rhythms, lush chordal figures and counterpoint." -New York Times
"...full of Brahmsian tone, Bartók lines, hiccupping Hungarian rhythms, Klezmer soul and the sexy plaintiveness of tango and the blues. -Newsday
