    Artist description
    Fiddler, Nosek and Pinzarrone hanging around and playing their tunes, joined by talented and helpful friends in the studio.
    Music Style
    Eclectic. "Jazz" is a good umbrella, but the tunes run from Middle Eastern (Damascus Gate) to Klezmer-ish (Twin Chimneys) to laid-back Reggae (Boiling Lake) to weird time signature fusion kind of stuff (.666, Compression) to pretty acoustic guitar (Alissem).
    Musical Influences
    Thelonius Monk, John Mclaughlin, John Cage, Charles Mingus, Django Reinhardt, Igor Stravinsky, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Leo Kottke, Toots & the Maytals, Ralph Towner and Oregon, Eberhard Weber, David Friesen, Munir Bechir, Farid al-Atrache, Jerry Garcia, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones , and others too numerous to name.
