...entertainer. To pick my favorite cut on this album would be absolutely impossible. The title song and "Jugband Song" show off Bromberg's sense of humor both in performing and writing. Some Irish fiddle tunes and "Sugar in the Gourd" give him a chance to display his guitar and mandolin-playing talents. His "Tennessee Waltz" is as kind to the old standard as any singer's rendition could be, and his version of "Mr. Bojangles"--half-singing, half-storytelling--is the first genuinely moving version of this ballad I've heard since Jerry Jeff Walker's original.

Particularly in Hunt's Desert Bones are both instruments combined in a tight-woven harmony with Lipton's cello providing an eerie backdrop for the song's haunting lyrics...

...examples of the Iberian monumentality and primitivism Picasso assimilated into the savage proto-Cubism of his brothel scene, illustrates the creative process which brought him to his more mature forms of analytic art. The studiedly severe colors of his "Reservoir Horta" (1909) and "Girl with a Mandolin" (1910) show the progression from Cezanne's architectonics to the crystalline space-time continuum that was to break up the contemporary universe into the figurative metaphors of the Cubists' conceptions...
