A British jazz quartet on US-based Cuneiform Records label spamming an impressive range of styles and moods (all original tunes with composition duties shared between three band members). I especially like the idiosyncratic sound of the quartet and some of these arrangements. Carsten Pieper
NIce coincidence, after having listened to their formidable Avanti! album, that I got as a former Cuneiform weekend special-deal the day before, last Friday Cuneiform came up with another Miridor album. I took that as a sign and bought this immediately. It's a little different to Avanti! but we're in it for variety, aren't we? So thanks again, Cuneiform Records, you're great!
Well, thanks to Miriodor, too, you're also great ;-) Carsten Pieper

Ha, the Ed Palermo Big Band has long been on my radar, but for whatever reason I never pressed the Buy- button. This weekend's special Cuneiform offer took care of that, thanks a lot! :-)
I have long been interested in their Zappa renditions, but here things get a little more diverse: Next to Zappa we're treated with Neil Young, Los Lobos and Giorgio Moroder in the typical Palermo big band sound. Wonderful :-) Carsten Pieper
