"The Idiomatiques is a guarantee for a great night out when I go see them play live. Their musicianship is top notch. Their passion and pure enjoyment is evident in their performance and arrangements. A joy to listen to, and their sense of humor that comes through is the added bonus."
- Danny Lux, multi Emmy-nominated composer & musician
"Gypsy swing with an extra fling is the thing here with the team of Craig Sharmat, Frank Petrelli, Kim Collins and George Quirin, as they mix moments of Django Reinhardt with straight-ahead grooves. Bohemia from the Left Bank is in abundance with caravan-styled solos on a clever take of Thelonious Monk’s music on “Worry, You Needn’t-Maybe” and “C’est La Vie” with some Stephane Grappelli-invoke strings on “Waltz Happening.” Some fun vocals add to the frivolity, particularly on “Lady Be Good” and “Life Don’t Care,” with infectious pulses that will make you grab your partner, or at least your beret on “Big Blue Thing” and “Scooby Doo.” Hard to resist this album that is as light and tasty as an almond croissant."
- George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
