Drum mastermind Peter Erskine gives a salute to two Austrian music film composers that dominated the Golden Age of movies, namely Max Steiner and E.W. Korngold on this album that mixes jazz with string. A rich mid sized combo of Herwig Gradischnig/sax, Thomas Gansch/tp, Bertl Mayer/harm, Bob Sheppard/fl, Judd Miller/EVI, Andreas Vardy/g, Danny Grissett/p-arr, Thatiana Gomes-Fabricio Pereira/b, Flip Phillip/perc-vib, Brian Kilgore/perc and Alyssa Park/vi join with Erskine for a wide range of ideas and moods. A collection of easy swinging tunes with Phillips' vibes give suave moods akin to George Shearing on the lithe "The Boys Go T Play" and "Johnny Belinda" while Gradischnig's tenor is soft on the samba'd "Romance". Park's violin is gorgeous on the ebullient "Ghost Coda" while the String Quartet of Kristina Suklar, Anastasia Lindberg, Mario Gheorghiu and Julia Schreyvogel paint haunting landscapes on "Concerto Miniature" and the richly shaded "String Quartet No. 2 In E-Flat Major, OP 26". Cinemascopic sounds.
