Violinist Drew Tretick has a tone that harkens back to the day when milking a note for all it’s worth was what brought the crowds in, and Tretick plays with the London Symphony Orchestra for an album’s worth of warm soundtrack pieces. Most jazz oriented are the standards “For All We Know” and ”What a Wonderful World” which feature a Bechet-like vibrato that is quite bel canto. All modern jazzers should take time to appreciate the time honored lesson displayed here that “it’s not what you say, but the way that you say it.” ANDREA MORRICONE, composer (Cinema Paradiso): "Drew Tretick and the London Symphony Orchestra perform with such beauty and sensitivity." Hear Drew's version of Cinema Paradiso at Andrea's website.

I received the violin yesterday and I am extremely happy with this beautiful instrument! It definitely exceeded my expectations. The redwood is so gorgeous and very lightweight. Plus, it is balanced perfectly. I can't wait to plug it in with a little reverb or delay. Like you Drew, I want to bring tears to peoples eyes. Tears of happiness by moving their spirit with beautiful music. Now that I am in possession of this wonderful violin I need to carry on the tradition of making the best music possible with it.
