Michael Dregni (author of Django: The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend) wrote the following about â25â in a review featured in Vintage Guitar Magazine-
âThe beauty of 25 lies in its sifting of influences into Philipsekâs original compositions. Running from classical jazz to Gypsy jazz to modern, the melodies are all accomplished. Yet his jazz is inspired as much by Hank Williams and Igor Stravinsky as Django Reinhardt, Thelonius Monk and Pat Martino.â
