Album Notes & Community Reviews

The ensemble's final album with founding accordionist Rob Burger offers a remarkably delicate, entirely acoustic blend of chamber music, Eastern European folk, and jazz improvisation. The instrumental pieces are distinguished by their suspenseful pacing and deeply bittersweet emotional resonance.
