"Get in the mood for this year's Django Reinhardt strand at the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival with this excellent second CD by New Orleans- based clarinettist Evan Christopher's international band.
What makes it stand out from many of the other Django-style bands is the Creole twist: Christopher's sweet and swinging Sidney Bechet-inspired playing blends beautifully with the familiar Reinhardt sound (of two guitars and bass). Among the highlights are Bechet's Passaporte Ao Paraiso, Hoagy Carmichael's Jubilee and two classic numbers associated with trumpeter Rex Stewart."
