Scott’s Red Star [2024]
COMING JULY 11 – NEWLY REMASTERED!
This 2000 release from brothers Patrick and Peter Noonan now has a fresh sound made for digital streaming and download. A perfect opportunity to revisit this rich instrumental collaboration.
Here’s some of what reviewers said of the original CD:
- “Stunning, varied, insightful, refreshing”
- “Just cold adjectives can’t begin to describe the heart, soul, and drop-yer-jaw musicianship that just pours from this first-time collaboration between brothers Peter and Patrick Noonan.”
“Consummate violinist Jonathan Levi’s bow-play would just flat-out steal the show from any other group of less-able musicians.” - “From playful to bittersweet, from Spanish guitar to Gershwin, with a breath of calypso, just a hint of Charlie Daniels, a nod to Mongo Santamaria and a wink to ragtime, this disc continues to delight, surprise, inspire, and just plain move me after holding the top spot on my living room playlist for almost a year now.”
- “It should appeal to anyone possessed of a taste for jazz, an ear for composition, a sense for style and technique, an appreciation for excellence in the art of engineering music, and the peculiarly-human need for emotional engagement with the aural cosmos.”
