Passport (ICR001) by Brooklyn Rider

Brooklyn Rider's debut album, released in 2008.

"This wildly eclectic CD reflects its members' omnivorous tastes: haunting Armenian laments, Osvaldo Golijov's arrangement of a lovely ballad by the Mexican art-rock band Cafe Tacuba, and the driving Gypsy-inflected improvisations of Colin Jacobsen's tour de force 'Brooklesca.' Brooklyn Rider is recreating the 300-year-old form of string quartet as a vital and creative 21st-century ensemble."- NPR
