Pyrenesia
“Off-Beat Symphony”
Pyrenesia do for the gypsy
jazz of Django Reinhardt and
Stephan Grappelli and Eastern
European music, particularly
klezmer, what New Orleans’
Tuba Skinny do for trad jazz
and the Carolina Chocolate
Drops do for old-time hillbilly
music: lovingly and distinctly
bring an older style of music
to a young audience. Playing a
fascinating, mixed-metered mix
of mountain music from the
Pyrenees to the Carpathians
to the Appalachians, Pyrenesia
(pronounce peer-uh-nee-juh)
make an impressive debut with
this 12-song collection fea-
turing eight originals, five of
which are instrumentals, plus
four covers.
