In Ken Burns words: Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and intensity to music than anyone I know. Her playing is insistent, physical, heartfelt and ... unusually moving. Her musical sensibilities arose from her time immersed in the rich classical and folk music scenes of Pittsburghs melting pot and later in Bostons vibrant musical scene. Drawing on the jazz/classical improvisational spirit of Keith Jarrett and the touch of George Winston .... (New England Folk Almanac), Jacqueline spins musical stories, building bridges to connect listeners to the different cultures and strands that have formed our American music. She has performed at the White House for President Clinton, and, with Scottish singer Jean Redpath, on public radios A Prairie Home Companion and on CBS Late Show with David Letterman. Jacqueline graduated from the New England Conservatory in Boston, majoring in piano improvisation in the Third Stream Department. She has long played for English country dancing with the Bare Necessities quartet, whose flowing, group improvisational style and nationwide performances have inspired new generations of dancers and musicians. She has released four solo recordings and has performed concerts of vintage American music in almost every state of the Union. She lives on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.
