A QSF Journey (HDCD review)

On the present album they play what they call "the spirit of our time," twelve relatively new tunes running high to tangos, most of them written or arranged by Mr. Cohen. Here's a rundown on the program: Tango Eight (Cohen) Fiesta! (Lipsky) Tango Carnevale (Cohen) Francini (Cohen) Rhapsody in Bluegrass (GershwinRouse, arr. Cohen) La Heroi´na (Cohen) How Sweet the Sound (Cohen) Federico II (Sollima) Al Colo´n (Cohen) Jasmine Flower/Beautiful Scenery of Wuxi (traditional Chinese folk songs, arr. Cohen) Toroi Bandi (Mongolian folk song, arr. Cohen) Jambo (traditional African folk song, arr. Cohen) Quartet San Francisco The Argentine tango takes center stage in the first track, "Tango Eight," with lively rhythms introducing us to the QSF style. […]
