"The Compass Rose Quintet...doesn't play the classical tango but mixes it with folky influences, light African and Flamenco rhythms and much more. With Cosmopolitango we have a winner! This is a sparkling, well played, sunny CD with the best elements from Southern musical traditions."

Eelco Shilder review

"These cats have the musical clout to translate the thoughts to all the right notes, cadence, and feeling."

Steven Briggs
President, Blue Night Records

"Compass Rose has a sound of their own–not just hot licks but true musical presentation. Keep it up, guys!"

co-host of Mandoscapes, KRFC radio, Fort Collins, CO

"This music is wonderful, and unlike anything I have ever heard – yet filled with what makes me feel I’ve heard it somewhere... but where.....? An underground cafe in Eastern Europe? ...or is that Southern Europe? Spain? Italy? No... Ireland. A jazz dive in New York? And it is wildly romantic, evoking places where women wear skirts and move differently than they do here in these United States. And yet it is so Chicago - but in a way I’ve never heard before. Unique - the word actually applies!"
