Roaming by Jeremy Kittel
CD Bins - World Music - Europe, Scotland
U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and Saline local Jeremy Kittel is always worth listening to. On this album, he mixes traditional Scottish tunes with his own jazzy compositions, blending the two disparate styles into a whole so hot you can almost see the sparks. Fusion may not win Scottish championships, but this is clearly the music that Kittel plays to entertain himself. Even on the slow numbers, the passion shines through.
