A magical new jazz arrangement of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf

‘This project arguably fails at so many levels yet still manages to be the most joyously engaging of listening experiences, thus ultimately succeeding completely. Warmly recorded in a live setting, the entire performance tears up the rulebook in the best possible way. Unreservedly recommended.’
