Album Description
Sir James Galway, revered as one of the world's greatest flute players, and the two-time Grammy-nominated Cuban music group, Tiempo Libre, offer an exuberant Afro-Cuban take on music from the Claude Bolling Jazz Suites as well as a number of vibrant new compositions. The album, named after a bustling street in Old Havana honoring the military contributions of an Irish General, marks a new cultural intersection uniting classical, jazz and Cuban music.

Afro-Cuban Meets the Irish December 31, 2008
Webfoot (USA)
This CD is a lot of fun. Tiempo Libre is up to the challenge of playing with one of the world's great classical musicians. I have heard Galway play jazz before, but his playing sounded all wrong. His tone is too pure; his technique too square. However, this blend of Afro-Cuban and well-polished classical flute worked well in the O'Reilly Street performances. Tiempo Libre is an amazing group. Galway's beautiful singing tone made a wonderful combination with the Cubans' stylings.
It's a good price, too. You won't be sorry if you buy it, and you will probably listen to it over and over again.
Wonderful Addition To My Musical Library December 21, 2008
R. CLARK (St Louis MO)
If you like Galway, Tiempo Libre, Cuban music or light Latin jazz this is a no brainer. Jimmy always delivers the goods. This Latin spin on some foundation jazz compositions of Claude Bolling`s is delightful. The rest of the album is the whipped cream, nuts and cherry.
O'Reilly Street Galway and Gomez Tiempo Libre Best of Both Worlds October 14, 2008

"This is such a great album! It really combines the best of two amazing worlds. Tiempo Libre's virtuosity and rhythmic charge are irresistible. And, of course, there is a reason why Galway is considered the greatest flute player in the world. His chops are unparalleled. But that sound - absolutely bewitching. Put Galway and and Tiempo Libre together and you get an album that is impossible to stop listening to. There is such joy in all the music-making. This was obviously a labor of love for everyone. Definitely check out the video about Galway and Gomez. It's clear there was a real person bond and affection that spilled over into the music."
Best of Both Worlds Intersect on O'Reilly Street October 4, 2008
M.C. (California)

O'Reilly Street hits the spot by blending appealing, baroque-inspired themes to perfection with hot, Latin jazz rhythms. Sir James Galway, the world-famous flutist, joins Grammy-nominated, Cuban music group Tiempo Libre in a high energy set. Features a fast-paced, exuberant interpretation of selections from the Bolling Suites, plus several new works composed/arranged by Tiempo Libre's Jorge Gomez. At age 69, Galway shows no signs of slowing down -- "the man with the golden flute" is as agile and amazing on this album as on any of his recordings of past decades. And, in temperament, he has found a good match in Tiempo Libre. All in all, O'Reilly Street is a great-sounding CD that only seems to improve the more times one listens. Highly recommended for fans of classical, as well as jazz and Cuban music.
Wonderful! September 24, 2008

I fell in love with the Bolling Suite in the 80's. Rampal's version was wonderful and I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the new "style" of for this suite but I was wrong. The mix of flavor and style along with Sir James' amazing technique and tone takes this music to a completely different place. In addition, the other tracks (not from the Bolling suites) are amazing and great additions the this jazz/classical flute style. If you enjoy jazz and/or classical you will enjoy this music for years to come. If you are a flutist (like I am) you will be searching for the sheet music immediately but it isn't yet out (if it ever will be). While you can get the original arrangements for the Bolling Suites, I'm hopeful they will publish these arrangements as well.
