The performances are competent and up to the highest standards of what you might call "elevator music" -- orchestral arrangements of then-hep pop songs.  Not my cup o' tea, but some may like it.  Certainly a curiosity due to Mr M's affiliation with the fantastic show NCIS.

And maybe some other show too, I don't know.
