International comments..

This week I found two nice mini-reviews / comments about the Arboreal Quartet album -- the first from a Brazilian music blog, who recommends it as a gift for people with discerning musical tastes. As a wise man once told me, "They make great gifts!" [Thanks, Mark]

Here's the mini-review, in Portuguese I believe:

The Arboreal Quartet - "The Arboreal Quartet"

Este quarteto canadense, de Montreal, lançou este disco que é um dos destaques do jazz neste ano; pitadas de folk e música celta, e muitas influências de música indiana que incluem o uso de instrumentos como o "sarode", formam um caldeirão jazzístico da melhor qualidade. Espetacular e surpreendente!

And the second comes from the Turkish music blog, Dunya Ezgireli, that continues to generate a lot of web traffic. I hadn't noticed the short description of the album in a comment. It reads:

Kesinlikle dinlenmesi gereken bir albüm. Caz yapısı içerisine hint müziği rifleri özenli ve dengeli bir biçimde yerleştirilmiş. Özetle: Dinleyiniz.

Rough online translations show that these comments are very positive. Thanks!
