Christian Howes
Jazz Fiddle Revolution (2004) A truly revolutionary album featuring spontaneous duo performances with the brilliant young violinist, Billy Contreras, and guest spots with cellist and trombonist, Dana Leong. This album demonstrates new possibilities in two-violin duets, with the violins accompanying each other in a range of jazz styles, including swing, funk, and blues. Including innocent performances of “What a Wonderful World” and the Rodgers and Hart classic, “It Never Entered My Mind”, as well as bold, fresh takes on other standards such as “The Way You Look Tonight”, “Doxie”, and some originals by Howes and Contreras.
