• BEST ALBUM TO DATE!!
  I love it from beginning to end. Koop has truly outdone themselves on this album. I love it just as much as the first one. Probably even more. If you love swing & jazz you will love this album. My hats off to the most talented duo in the world!

• Subtle agenda taints excellent CD.
  Speaking as a jazz/lounge musician, I think Koop produces some of the most well crafted, subtley infectious music in this idiom. Anyone who equates "Lounge" music with the 50's-60's will find that this style, like anything well done, is classic in that it knows no time period. Koop point the way with "Islands" and "Waltz".

• Caribbean christmas jazz -- with a hint of summer
  Another amazing album from what might just be the best nu jazz band out there. Koop continues to make music with a personality, because they bring in live vocals and write entire lyrics instead of sampling a line or two. While I don't normally like Ane Brun, her vocals on the intro are very fitting to the music. And Earl Zinger's voice is as sexy and deep as ever.
  What makes this album especially great is that it continues in the same vein as Waltz for Koop but without sounding like remake. Like it... more info

• No better than Koop
  Hearing the new one item by Koop my advice is to have it, but expect something completely different than the first one...
  I don't like the sound of the 20`s , 30's & 40's jazz, 'cause I like specially trios and piano than orchestras...but this record has 3 or 4 little gems...and that's why it worths to have it!
