"Fisrt, is was at a great price including the shipping.

The cd is remenicent of the great Grappelli and Reinhardt duo. I did not know the connection until I read the notes. I often find live audience cd's annoying. This cd was edited well.

As for the performance. A jewel ! A must for jazz violin enthusiasts"

Awesome Violin Jazz

"To my initial disappointment Live in New York did not have the same feel to it that In Full Swing had--partly because In Full Swing was recorded in a studio, and partly because the song selections have a different underlying feel. But it is still a great cd.

One of the songs, Anniversary, runs on and on and I usually just skip it when I listen.

The coolest--and hottest--song in the album is Gypsy Fantastic. I listen to this one enough times to make up for the skipped Anniversary.

The rest of the songs are good, though at least two of them are repeats from previous albums.

If this is your first time trying O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio, I'd get In Full Swing first; if you have listened to the other cd and like it, you will probably like this one too. Just don't expect a lot more of exactly the same stuff.
