Details:
Jack presents one hundred years of great
American music -- songs from 1847 to 1950. Here Jack is in the company
of the wonderful pianist Gary Neuman and my old friend and fellow
musician Steve Hanson.
Everything from "Oh! Susanna" (1847) to the Academy Award-
winning "Mona Lisa" (1950) is presented here. All tracks are Banjo and
rhythm, with the exception of track five, which is a very nice
rendering of Scott Joplin's "Solace" by Mr. Neuman.
The music and musicianship on this project is terrific through-
out, however for me the whole CD is worth track ten -- "The Way You
Look Tonight". It is very smooth and beautiful -- I love it!
Wow -- then right after that comes more of the same thing. Beautiful tremolo
and wonderful rhythm feel from Jack and the guys. For me this is
Plectrum Banjo that I could lay back and listen to over and over
again.
