Details:
Over the past number of years I have been lucky enough to find myself in situations where just a banjo player and I are sitting knee to knee, exploring tunes, ideas, textures and the simple joy of the fiddle and banjo duet thang! The magic happens again when the banjo players morph while playing with me. The results are on this CD, in what was a heart bursting collaboration and celebration of the old time and original old time music we love-Jane Rothfield
iFiddle, theyBanjo is jam packed with 23 fiddle banjo collaborations with a mix of duets, trio''s and full band. Jane, Hilarie, Cathy, Reed, Jimmy and Dan are joined by Marcy Marxer on cello banjo, Rick Friend on guitar, Steve Parks on mandolin and lap dulcimer, Joe DeJarnette on double bass, and Allan Carr on vocals. The music captures a snapshot of Jane''s musical conversations with these 5 fantastic musicians. The music is played with minimal arrangements to capture the essence of the music and to maximize the on the spot creativity that occurs when Jane plays! Listen closely-there is alot to hear!
"iFiddle is a great mixture of the familiar with the poignant (e.g., Regarding a
Friend) with the fun (e.g., War and Pizza). Right out of the wrapper this CD
will get the feet shuffling with rhythmic and cloggable tunes. Jane Rothfield
plays with Hilarie Burhans, Cathy Fink, Reed Martin, Jimmy McCown and Dan Rublee
as if they were all hanging out on the front porch. If you love old time fiddle
and banjo, this beautiful, clear, crisp blend of fiddle and banjo is for you.
uGo!" Doug Coulson - a lifelong persistent intermediate old time banjo player".
"iFiddle, theyBanjo ....is pretty darn great!. Full of spunky, out-front fiddling, often
richly improvisational, and a good selection of familiar and unfamiliar
tunes. Many banjo textures, too, from throaty to plunky to clucky. I
particularly liked the in-the-pocket "Valley Forge," "Jaybird" and "Julianne
Johnson," but also admire the tunes where Jane opens up and jams. A classy,
exuberant, multi-dimensional CD." Bill Christophersen-fiddler
"Janie handles the balance between respedct for tradition and creativity better than anyone else I know. Plus she''s really fun to play with!" Pete Peterson (Orpheous Supertones, Waking up Tillie)
“One of the most rhythmically sophisticated fiddlers in the world – Jane’s groove, tone and musicality is impeccable!” Donna Hébert (fiddler, teacher and composer)
