From Django-esque gypsy jazz progressions to ragtime with a modern twist; a rootsy, satisfying mix of classically-fueled arpeggios and lush chords. Featuring several special guests, including members of Foghorn Stringband, Jackstraw, and Taarka.
Bio / Background
Jamie Stillway's solo debut release, "Mell of a Hess," presents a dozen of her wide-traveling songs; from Django-esque gypsy jazz progressions, to 21st century ragtime, her music is a rootsy, satisfying mix of classically fueled arpeggios and lush chords.
Stillway has already made her mark with resonator slide man Ben Bonham, snaring serious accolades from all corners. As music critic Don Campbell of the Oregonian aptly reports, "Jamie Stillway not only comps big, fat, swinging and expensive jazz chords, but picks with a ferocity that would make Django proud. If she's not grinning ear to ear during her solos, she should be. Her technique is commanding and artful, and she possesses a gypsy sould that would be at home in 1930s Paris, or busking on the streets of Dallas."
The CD includes several nationally renowned musicians, including blues guitarist Mary Flower on track 9, and Caleb Klauder of Foghorn Stringband on track 4.
