Come on down and get some red beans
Way down yonder in New Orleans
Catfish, Gumbo, Étouffée
Gonna keep you full 'til Mardi Gras day

Sometimes when it rains in May
They say
Will gloom be everlasting
Or will the sun rise
Sooner than soon
So flowers will bloom
Even when it's days and days
So grey,
the question I am asking
When will the light shine
Into my room
So flowers will bloom
Soon enough the sun will chase the clouds away
Loosening the chains that shackle my heart
And every ounce of pain that threatens
To seize the day
Gone to stay
And opens up the sky revealing the
Promise of the moon
And flowers will bloom

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours...

So much fun and joy and swing, and the instrumentation allows for some super-fresh sounds as well as some old-timey goodness. And simply great tunes too!

This is one of the albums that really sweep me away, no matter which track I'm listening to, and its pleasantly long running time of almost 80 minutes guarantees a maximum sweeping effect. Basically, Matt Ulery is a jazz musician and composer playing the double bass, but the magic he creates on this and other albums is well beyond the confines of the genre. The brilliant varied orchestrations clearly put it into a neo-classical chamber music frame, frequently reminding me of Argentine chamber folk, and the smooth vocals contributed by Grażyna Auguścik and Sarah Marie Young add considerably to the magic, as does the piano work of Rob Clearfield, who's a great composer himself.
