Thread Name: Jody Stecher's early recordings
Subject: RE: Jody Stecher's early recordings
I've only heard one thing by Stecher, but with that I'm impressed. He did some really solid work with Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser on the 1988 album The Driven Bow. Although they both have billing "above the title," it's really more Fraser's show, being as it is an album of fiddle tunes. But Stecher's playing on the album is quite consistent with Rick's description of him as being "self-effacing." His doesn't really try to call great attention to the guitar on this album, but it wouldn't be half the album without him. Marvelous talent.
