    • East Meets East

      Music StarStarStarStar
      By Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Band

      Kennedy hooks up with a Polish folk band to create this album that is like an homage to Eastern Europe. It's fast-paced, vital and high-spirited recording.

      The album is introduced by the classic Serbian folk dance "Ajde Jano" (the Balkan equivalent of "Lay Lady Lay")and the pace follows from there. Fun to listen to over and over.
