Thread Name: Quebecois recordings recommendations?
Subject: RE: Quebecois recordings recommendations?
Check out a new CD of an older fiddle player, called "Edouard Richard: Musique Gaspesienne." His playing is very rhythmic and exciting.
on the latest "Celtic Fiddle festival CD," the late and very lamented Johnny cuningham is replaced by an exciting young Quebecois fiddler, Andre Brunet. I got back last week from a fiddle camp in California where he was teaching. He is just amazing, a true master. He plays with the band La Bottine Souriante....and speaking of the band, their third recording, "Chic and swell," is worth a listen or a hundred.
