Details Release Date: Oct 23, 2001; Lead Performance: Don Byron

Clarinetist and composer Byron has a knack for addressing varied genres in both celebratory and extended ways. Whether dealing with klezmer, cartoon music, arias, or, on this album, percussion-fortified Latin music, he is full of brainy delights. As expected, the path is winding, framed by a hip read on Henry Mancini's ''Theme from Hatari'' and DJ Spooky's remix of Byron's swaggering ''Belmondo's Lip.''
