Jayme Stone's "Lomax Project"
Two-time Juno-winning banjoist, composer and instigator Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world, bridging folk, jazz and chamber music. His award-winning albums both defy and honor the banjo’s long role in the world’s music, turning historical connections into compelling music.
Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project is his latest adventure. Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this collaboratory brings together some of North America’s most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle and re-imagine traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea chanties, African-American acappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: muleskinners, roustabouts, sawyers, prisoners, homemakers and schoolchildren. A new album will be out on Borealis Records in March 2015.
The 7:30 p.m. concert on Saturday, February 28 at the Gesa Power House Theatre will feature Jayme Stone with Lomax Project collaborators Margaret Glaspy, Brittany Haas and Joe Phillips.
