Great fun, beautiful playing!
author: Steve BornfeldYou don't often find Handel, Joplin and Peter Townshend together on the same program. Andrew Schulman and his ABACA string band make these and others co-conspiritors in his romp through 4 centuries of music. Schulman's entertaining arrangements and inspired playing by the band make this an entertaining and ear-opening recording!
