This review is from: California Celtic (Audio CD)

An interesting mix of Celtic and chamber music, from an understated Northern California ensemble. Pianist/composer Sayles leads the sextet, in which violin and cello figure quite prominently, and she wrote all the tunes as well, sometimes nudging them into lightly jazzy terrain... It can sound a bit prim, but mostly it's pretty engaging. Worth checking out if you're looking for something new and off-the-radar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great jazz-influenced Celtic music!, May 11, 2000

I heard a tune off Sayles' new CD on my local Celtic radio show and it blew me away so I picked up the disk. Sayles has somehow fused my favorite music genres, Celtic and Jazz, into a beautiful, swinging mixture. The melodies are lovely and the musicians are playing their hearts out. Great flute, violin and cello solos are heard throughout. I also like the "live" feel of the recording. I highly recommend "California Celtic."
