  • ISTHMUS NEWSPAPER "MADTRACKS" REVIEW OF THE TRACK CAPRIHINA

"(An Evening at the Brink Lounge) summons up a later era of Djangology--the small groups with Rostaing on clarinet--and is an exuberant live performance (nicely recorded)--fine solos and hot rhythm from everyone. I admired Caravan's first CD and this one is just as delightful."
Michael Steinman, Cadence Magazine, Summer 2010
