“The arrangers of the music have exploited the full beauty of a classical string ensemble using selections that are as diverse, for example, as Percy Grainger’s ‘Molly on the Shore’ and Johnny Mandel’s ‘ Don’t Look Back.’  The jazz musician and the classical player may be two entirely separate species but ...  they can clearly make beautiful music together.”
Allison Kerr, writing about the “Don’t Look Back” concert at the Edinburgh Festival, August 2006.
