15 tracks
  1. Newbury Street4342/1Thumping bass walks with jaunty piano. Brushed drum joins as a sax takes focus. The piano and sax trade the spotlight, fluttering around as the bass and drums thunder, accenting the landscape with light cymbal splashes.1:27
  2. Folie a Deux4342/9Jaunty strummed guitar flutters as a curious clarinet bops in. Upright bass pushes forward as the clarinet sets a swirling tempo. Muted horns squall over guitar stabs until the clarinet joins in and everything goes rollicking to a finale.2:22
  3. An Evening With Mrs. Jones4342/15Jaunty whistle strolls along with a light piano and horn stabs. A clarinet, walking bass, and xylophone join the piano until a flutter of woodwinds usher in a shimmer of percussion, making room for swinging horns to cruise to a grooving finale.1:44
  4. When We Meet4342/30Reflective piano meanders with slow walking bass over brushed drums. The piano falls longingly across sprinkles of cymbal. Somber trumpet leads the blue mood until it tumbles, letting the elegant piano take over and fade to a close.2:42
  5. In the Land of Dixie4342/38Bright trumpet howls out amongst walking bass, fluttering clarinet, and jangling banjo. Tumbling drum anchors a dixieland swing. The bass grooves with saloon-style piano and a growling trumpet that leads a final swinging lift to a rollicking close.2:22
  6. Charles River4342/46Light piano strolls along with jazzy guitar lead backed with a walking bass and brushed drums. The piano climbs, cheerily ringing out and nudged along by the drums. The guitar and piano take turns in the spotlight, tumbling to a breezy finish.2:23
  7. C'est La Vie4342/52Strummed guitar skips lightly into a fiddle friend and walking upright bass. The guitar flutters with the meandering fiddle over brushed drums. The guitar plucks as the fiddle bounces along in an easy stroll that lazily pitter-patters to a close.1:44
  8. Be My Neighbor4342/59Hi-hat and upright bass groove as a clarinet hops in, joined in turn by guitar, New Orleans brass, woodwinds, drums, and cymbals. The clarinet and piano trade blows before joining the group in a tumbling, bright and brassy finale.2:24
  9. Toque Suave4342/66Acoustic guitar lazily strums, joined by a smooth flourish of flute. Fluttering trumpet and string swells anchored by steady drum and Brazilian-tinged stick click give way to shimmering chimes as the flute sails on until a fading close.1:59
  10. Across Town4342/74Strummed acoustic guitar and quick walking bass stroll with a hi-hat and jaunty piano. The guitar and piano go back and forth, fluttering and circling each other before letting each a turn in the spotlight and coming together in a bright ending.1:22
  11. Cafe Chat4342/82Lazy upright bass and acoustic guitar step back to let a somber clarinet lilt in, accented by a light drum kit shuffle. The clarinet sweetly sings over the gentle cymbal splashes as layers of woodwinds and brass reminisce about old-fashioned living.2:33
  12. Little Did She Know4342/89Acoustic guitar plucks waltz around a walking bass, joined by a tumbling banjo and lilting clarinet. Banjo jangles while the brushed drums support the bass. Accordion, cello, and somber fiddle flourish to flesh out this Parisian landscape.3:14
  13. Strolling Along4342/103Skipping acoustic guitar finds a walking upright bass and brushed drum to pluck and bend around. A banjo joins the guitar on its stroll, jangling and stumbling into layers of woodwinds that roll along, jauntily navigating the cheery landscape.1:44
