Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Anyone whose attended a concert of the FFGQ can attest to the qualities that make them such a unique institution, one that's far beyond mere virtuosity. Individually and collectively, the FFGQ displays innumerable qualities of concentration, versatility, unpredictability, as well as a disarming sense of humor which may erupt at any moment. What better way to celebrate the group's tenth year of existence than this collection of live recordings from their 1997 European tour, a breathless narrative that unfolds with relentless drive and charm while touching down at a typically wide range of destinations.""-Ambiances Magnetique
