		The disc is sweet and fierce, deeply moving and eminently danceable, passionate and smart, and that it is all these things is no doubt a tribute to its founder and leader, Beverly Dobrinsky.
		As she explains it, music surrounded her as a child, but it was only once she became an adult that she recognized its true value.
		This is not state-conservatory music, but a sound that's as attention-getting as the blues--even if, as Dobrinsky allows, some of the music's microtonal edges have been smoothed out by exposure to the North American norm.
