Track-info

(...) "perhaps it's most appropriate to think of this ensemble as an octet, playing music that is attractive and sometimes refined in tone, the type of jazz that incorporates classical string players with no difficulty whatsoever." (...) "[Xavier Verhelst] might not guide Wofo toward wild and woolly free jazz, but he does range far afield in search of stylistic influences -- exuberant Balkan folk in the case of "Galičnik," Latin and tango flavors in the multifaceted, polyrhythmic "Fesses Jaunâtres" (its title an apparent reference to the fading of bruises on somebody's posterior...perhaps it's best to just let that one sit) -- and the resultant unpredictability is a major part of the group's appeal." (4/5)
