O’s Notes: Spanish banjo player Lluis Gomez leads a quartet with French violinist Raphaël Maillet-violin (6 vocals), Czech guitarist, violinist Ondra Kozák, vocals and violin (10) and Spanish bassist, vocalist Maribel Rivero. This is a combination of flamenco and gypsy jazz complete with banjo and fiddle on T’ho Vaughn Dir!”. Carol Duran adds violí and vocals on “Tardes de Julio” and sing on two other selections. We liked “Walk On Boy”, “Zrádny Banjo” (Polka On A Banjo), and “Dora” featuring special guest Nat Torkington (5-string banjo). While this is not what we typically review, we enjoyed this session and encourage you to sample it.
