If you like instrumental music, or classical guitar stylings, or an Eastern European flavor, I highly recommend this. Certain parts glancingly remind me of the Flecktones. Although I've only listened on PC speakers so far, it appears the recording itself could be of crystal, commercial quality.

Fusion on a grand scale. Jazz, classical, rock, folk, Eastern, Western: it's all here in various doses. A little new-agey at times, but not overly so.
Sound quality is top-shelf.

As promised by the reviews, I was not disappointed to hear a tight energetic fusion of world music. Combining the sounds of Gypsy Kings (minus the vocals), Django Reinhardt, Rachel Portman and Duke Ellington with Juan Tizol, I was moved to get out of my seat and dance. A fast paced mix of eastern and western music genres causes a quickening of the heart and a rush of blood through the veins. The track Macedonian Girl provides a smooth departure and is a welcome break to give the audience a moment to reflect. Minus Bella Fleck's banjo, there are some similaries to the Flecktones sound. All in all, not too shabby a comparison! As a departure from the norm, I would like to hear the Doran Ivanovic Group backed by a symphony orchestra for an added dimension in the string sections. This collection of work and the quality of sound in these recordings comes highly recommended by this music lover.

This could easily surpass most commercial recordings nowadays, especially live releases. Unique music and band. I can't wait to check these guys out for myself (I'm lucky enough to live in Chicago). Thanks so much for making this music available to us, Matt!
