Blue Balkan CD review in Vintage Vinyl

Larry Vuckovich, "Blue Balkan Then & Now," Tetrachord Music. This is a perfectly fine album of solid jazz. Vuckovich plays piano, and has a nice firm style. But the most distinctive musician here is Eric Golub, who contributes a stirring violin on eight of the thirteen cuts. The idea of this CD is to reissue a 1981 album, and augment it with a few newly recorded tunes by many of the same musicians on the original. I can't really tell the difference offhand between the two eras of recording.
