"The Howard Fishman Quartet may sound like the name of a jazz group, but jazz isn't really a word that comes close to describing the varied influences of the band. New Orleans funk, classical music and pop all appear in a scintillating mix. The band, which includes a violinist and trumpeter, is held together by Fishman's gritty singing style -- a bit Tom Waits-like at points -- and a clutch of brilliant songs. "
