Description
This Year in St. Louis is the debut solo release from St. Louis based fiddle and mandolin player Jeremy Brown. The album covers a wide range of musical styles, from bluegr to klezmer and everything in between. Ten of the thirteen tracks on the album are original compositions by Jeremy Brown. It features tight ensemble work, including intricate instrumental harmonies, and also highlights the soloing abilities of the various musicians on the recording. This Year in St. Louis pays tribute to traditional music without being too narrowly constricted by boundaries. Track four, Bride s Hora is an original klezmer tune which can stand beside songs from the klezmer repertoire, both in melody, and in the arrangement presented on the album as performed by St. Louis klezmer band, Yidn. Track 8, Little Rabbit is a traditional American fiddle tune played as fiddle and banjo duet with old-time banjoist Jeff Miller. Aside from these two tracks the album presents traditional sounds in a fresh, new way. The fiddle tune Blackberry Blossom takes a rock and roll turn thanks to drummer/percussionist Matt Henry, and aggressive solos by Jeremy, mandolinist/guitarist/b player Iggie Tiemann, and producer/guitarist Joe Rut. Psychedelic Flu and Downhill blend elements of klezmer and bluegr, creating an original musical hybrid. Both also feature unforgettable electric guitar work by Joe Rut. The album s fast pace, and happy feel, are tempered by several plaintive tracks. Araber Tantz is a traditional klezmer number, given a new treatment here as a duet for violin and percussion. Isaac s March , another Jeremy Brown original, is a funeral march performed on violin and snare drum. Several original fiddle tunes are featured on the album, Possum Haw , and Grandpa s Reel . The Fruitvale Freilach Medley is a frantic combination of three original klezmer tunes.
