Jayme Stone's Africa to Appalachia
Presented by SoundCulture
April 10, 2010
Morseland Theater, Chicago
Two-time Juno Award winning banjoist Jayme Stone and Malian kora master Yacouba Sissoko build a boundary-crossing musical bridge from Africa to Appalachia in their groundbreaking collaboration.Jayme Stone keeps an ear to the ground. His curiosity and unlikely set of reference points started early with the quirky physics of the banjo, led to a mysterious librarian who stocked his local public library with a vast trove of banjo recordings, and landed him long-lasting lessons with a series of maestros, from Béla Fleck to Bill Frisell. Influenced by Japanese poetry and Brazilian literature and featuring what he calls a “tiny symphony that takes place inside an imaginary light bulb”, Stone’s album, The Utmost, won the 2008 Juno Award for Instrumental Album of the Year.
