Nominated for the Quarterly Award of the German Record Critics, Quarter 2/2014
"Boonoonoonous" is a word from the Jamaican Creole patois and means "wonderful." Wonderful duos between Jan Luley and Thomas L'Etienne, a specialist in Creole music and choro, combined with virtuosic and soulful piano solo pieces by composers such as Jelly Roll Morton and Scott Joplin, and two intoxicating original compositions by Jan Luley, transport the listener to a world of exuberant joy and warm melancholy.
