Reviews:

"Nobody in the history of jazz fiddle has ever played with the technical assurance of O'Connor, and he has been a brilliant and soulful improviser since he was a teenager ... Backed with driving finesse by bassist Jon Burr and guitarist Frank Vignola, this live set has a definite whiff of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France about it, with O'Connor's fire and heart-on-the-sleeve emotional involvement rendering this not only one of the finest discs of his career, but one of the greatest jazz violin albums ever." -- Chicago Tribune "Acoustic, progressive Grappelli-style violin and Django-style guitar jazz played by Mark O'Connor and his Hot Swing Trio featuring Frank Vignola and Jon Burr. Reviving a once overlooked style and demonstrating its undiminished vitality, Live In New York documents this moment of arrival and departure: recorded impeccably, executed flawlessly, it completes the trilogy that had begun with Hot Swingand In Full Swing." -- Robert L. Doerschuk, former editor of Musician magazine
