Description
Stellar musicianship! These two stellar musicians – Canadian Emilyn Stam (piano, 5-string fiddle) and Italian Flippo Gambetta (diatonic accordion) – have put together an album of original compositions rooted in Italian and North American music traditions. Their diverse experiences contribute to the duo’s open and curious perspective on instrumental folk music resulting in a transatlantic musical collaboration that is truly exciting. The album was recorded live in Genoa, Italy by Federico Lagomarsino, October 23 - 25, 2017. The package is beautifully illustrated by Candace Osborne Bell.
“Emilyn Stam is an astoundingly gifted improviser. This is a skill that requires not only a high degree of musicianship but also openness and a creative spark that in Emilyn’s case knows no bounds.� – Anne Lindsay (Blue Rodeo, Jim Cuddy Band)
“There can be no dispute that Filippo Gambetta is a master of the instrument. His virtuosic dexterity shines through every track yet there is never the feeling that you are listening to a flashy player. Genoa has a huge reputation for fine musicians; this man must be among their finest.� – Vic Smith, Folk Roots
