Jonno & Bayou Deville

http://www.jonnofiddle.com/

“...Jonno cooks elsewhere on uptempo material, including a stutter-step version of ‘Jambalaya’ featuring the brass of trombonist Craig Klein and trumpeter Kevin Clark, and Jonno’s cover of Clifton Chenier’s ‘I’m Comin’ Home’ flat out burns, thanks to Belote’s drumming and some tandem lead lines from Dwayne Dopsie’s accordion and Jonno’s fiddle. The swirling original ‘Neitzche’s Waltz’ is a moody departure and highlight, featuring and acrid and roiling guitar solo from Sam Broussard.
“Jonno shines brightest on the traditional material; he makes his fiddle sing like a glorious bluebird on the upbeat melody lines of ‘Perrodin Two Step’ (duetting with Steve Riley’s accordion), and hews some rustic sawing on the ‘Triangle Blues’ before sending off the program on a high note with an elegant solo violin version of ‘The Lovers’ Waltz’.
