It's an album of big and brassy Gypsy party music as Romanian group Fanfare Ciocarlia throws down with Serbian trumpet legends Boban and Marko Markovic. One listen to "Suita a la Ciobanas," unbelievably fast and manic like a Balkan "Flight of the Bumblebee," and you'll be won over. That's even before you hear their Gypsified version of the "James Bond Theme" or the amalgamation's inventive take on "I Am Your Gummy Bear." Fanfare and the Markovic's play together on each cut except during versions of Duke Ellington's "Caravan" where they take separate runs at the classic. 09/03/11
