"Metro" features the music of Paris, Rio, and New York, performed on mandolin, bass, percussion, melodica, accordion, & guitar. From the title track, written by bassist Nate Davis, the CD winds its eclectic way through Brazilian choro, the music of Eric Satie, French mussette, jazz standards like "Good-bye Pork Pie Hat," and "Darn that Dream," and original compositions by group members. Fans of Marilynn Mair's mandolin will be surprised and delighted to hear her original accordion tunes, such as "Diablo," "Champagne for Meredith," and "The Brinsley Waltz," written for WCQ percussionist extraordinaire, Brinsley Davis. Recorded in three days of live sessions, the CD exudes joie de vivre.
