5 out of 5 stars What a joy!.......2001-03-08

Swinging music, very clever arrangements and wailing solos. I keep listening to this CD and enjoy it over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars Talent and Style!.......2001-02-28

Cynthia Sayer is both a talent banjo/guitar player and has a very fine voice. This CD is excellent music, uniquely arranged. A good variety of songs (originating from the 1920's through the 40's) well performed, some purely instrumental, others with vocals (my favorites). Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Sayer CD So Far!.......2001-02-04

I can't stop listening to this CD. She manages to play old jazz and sound contemporary at the same time. Her singing is sublime and her playing is hot and expressive. I love her earlier stuff, particularly JAZZ AT HOME, but this CD has an original flair that goes beyond her earlier stuff. She is clearly continuing to grow as an artist. I am looking forward to what she comes up with next! -- Len from New Hampshire

5 out of 5 stars The evolution of a serious jazz banjoist.......2000-10-11

Sayer continues to evolve as one of the world's premier 4-string jazz banjoists. This CD showcases her in a more "swingy" style in which she extends her range by venturing into Western Swing on tracks like "South of the Border," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," and others. What's particularly noteworthy is how her voice continues to improve with age, deepening in character and conviction. As a total work I think in some respects I prefer the song selection of the last CD, "Jazz at Home." However the overall quality of individual selections on "String Swing" shows evolution and more depth in the performances. It's also great to see an artist not afraid to take chances by playing in styles outside of their milieu. As an added bonus, the audio on this CD is the best of the her collection of work. The banjo is clear, the tenor guitar has tonal quality, woodwinds sound breathy, and her vocal is present and in good proportion to the instrument mix. I can't wait for the next one!
