Impeccable tone, terrific musicianship, eclectic selections

(4 out of 5 stars)
"In a departure from the acoustic New Age of much of the rest of the Windham Hill catalog, and in a further departure of the mandolin from its bluegrass association, the MMQ interprets modern classical pieces of the Americas. With arrangements ranging from the sweet (Brouwer's "Berceuse"), to the opaque (Piazzolla's "Four for Tango"), to garage mandolin (The Louie Louie Variations), don't dismiss this disc as dinner music. You may find yourself coming back to it when you won't be distracted."
