"fragile, delicate work...raw and unvarnished...powerful"
....It was a crowd pleaser with hints of Gershwin works such as
Rhapsody in Blue and American in Paris….the work was a definite
hit-earning a rousing standing ovation from the audience….
...new motifs, new things for the ear…
an attractive layered piece...ostinato textures...
..combines strands of boogie woogie, Ravel's Gallic blues,
and Dave Brubeck's Bach-inspired counterpoint
...a sense of echoe and distance...highly satisfying structure...
...like Ligeti’s Vertigo in reverse... terrific fun
......powerful atmosphere
