Alan Jabbour & Ken Perlman in Concert
KEN PERLMAN, BANJOIST, AND FIDDLER ALAN JABBOUR PRESENT A PROGRAM OF APPALACHIAN TUNES, FEATURING MOST PROMINENTLY THE MUSIC ALAN LEARNED IN THE 1960S FROM HIS MENTOR, WEST VIRGINIA FIDDLER HENRY REED. STORIES THAT EVOKE THE LIVES AND CULTURAL MILIEU OF REED AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES ADD AN EXTRA DIMENSION TO THE PRESENTATION. ALAN AND KEN HAVE REDEFINED THAT GREAT AMERICAN INVENTION, THE FIDDLE-BANJO DUET, AND BROUGHT IT TO NEW HEIGHTS OF COMPLEXITY. ALAN'S POWERFUL FIDDLING STYLE, WITH ITS SYNCOPATED BOWING PATTERNS AND LYRICAL TEXTURE, IS OFFSET PERFECTLY BY KEN'S INSPIRED APPROACH TO CLAWHAMMER BANJO, WHICH EXPLORES CHORD INVERSIONS, HARMONY LINES, VOICE LEADING, NOTE-FOR-NOTE PLAYING, AND COUNTER-MELODY. THEIR PERFORMANCES TESTIFY TO THE GRACE, BEAUTY, AND POWER OF APPALACHIAN MUSIC.
