In order to truly experience the origins of our two new releases from Focus Music, you would need an airline ticket and a time machine!  FCD235 gives you a taste of Eastern European culture by combining authentic instruments of the regions with a native musical sound.  Regions represented are The Ukraine, The Middle East, Greece, Russia, Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic.  Once you’ve traveled the musical map, return to the States and go back to the Swing era of the 1930’s and 40’s!  With big band, jazz ballads, hot club jazz guitar and tunes in the spirit of ragtime you’ll feel like you’re in the dance hall with the band during World War II.  So close your eyes, listen and leave the airline ticket and time machine behind!
