This follow-up to their 2005 album Who Ate All The Tapas? sees the original Trio Gitano expanding into a collective that incorporates flute, fiddle, double bass, trumpet and percussion. Based around the two guitars of Jamie Fekete and Sam Slater (the other original band member, Sophie Johnson, left in 2006 to follow other musical pursuits), the broader textural palette makes for a very tasty gumbo indeed. A fairly eclectic outfit from the start, TGC's ever-widening crazy quilt of influences references flamenco in ‘Silhouette’ and ‘Escape from Girona’, jazz in a delightful two-part take on Horace Silver's ‘Song For My Father’, a two-guitar ‘Homage’ to JS Bach's magisterial ‘Chaconne in D minor’, and a nod to Django Reinhardt in the album's swinging title track and ‘The Sheik of Araby’. The group's mentor, Bryan Lester, is still very much in the frame, contributing three pieces the pick of which is undoubtedly the unerringly lyrical ‘Sutta.’
