I had the pleasure of hearing the Con Grazia Woodwind Quintet perform this piece live. The women of Con Grazia have an easy-going relationship that benefits their music immensely. The synergy of the groups brings their music alive.

You guys sounded great! That oboe part is so creamy, so jazzy, so splenditifically snazzy. And a song in 13-8--Who would of thunk it? Way to go Ray Pizzi. You gals come on down to Tucson AZ and I'll put you up while you play a concert series down here.

That's a delightful piece of music there !! I love it ! I wish i could have heard the rest of the piece, as the music was turning jazzy just before it cut off. The women of Con Grazia Quintet play beautifully. I wish they would visit NYC.
