Thanks to the Beau Hunks, they have brought us more Raymond Scott tunes that have not yet been released on CD. As a result, I recommend this CD with no reservations and thank them for the continued excellence in their work. Execution is very nice and the recording comes across with a very personal touch. Well done!

4.0 out of 5 stars MANHATTAN MINUET FIRST RATE RAYMOND SCOTT!, July 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Manhattan Minuet (Audio CD)

These wonderful literal reproductions of Raymond Scott's unique music are played to perfection by the Dutch musicians, THE BEAU HUNKS. Raymond Scott himself would have been honored by this faithful rendering of 14 of his compositions, several of which are receiving their first recording ever. The written introduction by Elvis Costello offers much insight into how a modern musician sees Scott's work. This CD is a keeper and belongs in the collection of any serious music lover.

I liked the other CD's that were done by the Beau Hunks, so I bought "Manhattan Minuet". The tunes written by Raymond Scott are catchy and happy to listen to.
