Duck Baker and Jamie Findlay celebrate the release of their new album, Out of the Past. Duck, known for his eclectic approach that embraces musical styles from traditional Irish music to free jazz, and Jamie, a leading acoustic jazz player, have worked out a unique repertoire of duets, focused on the works of great jazz composers like Charlie Parker, Horace Silver, Thelonious Monk, and Fats Waller, as well as such forgotten artists as Tina Brooks and Sy Oliver. With arrangements as complex as cool jazz sextet scores or the drive associated with great fingerpicking, this is a "can't miss" show for guitar fans as well as for anyone interested in new approaches to jazz. |
