Mike Marshall & Darol Anger with Väsen Poster
This cd reflects the changing face of folk music. When two premier architects of instrumental acoustic music in America, Darol Anger and Mike Marshall, are able to connect with three like-minded new-traditionalists from Sweden, Väsen, you know that you are living in a very different world. It could be that the term folk music may actually need a new definition. All five virtuosos have been pushing the envelope on their respective instruments for over twenty years, and have successfully created a body of work that reflects this never-ending quest for new sounds. All are deeply rooted in the traditional music of their past, while also being hell-bent on composing music that reflects that ever widening influence and access that the new global/musical/digital landscape has opened up to us all.Mandolinist Mike Marshall and violinist Darol Anger are musicians who have no respect for boundaries. Former members of the fusion group, Montreux, they've each recorded in wide ranging settings from classical to jazz, South American music to bluegrass. Marshall's Modern Mandolin Quartet and Anger's Turtle Island String Quartet were paragons of eclectic folk classicism. On this album, they team up with Väsen, the equally eclectic Swedish folk band. Collectively, they chart a new kind of folk music that draws on tradition, but finds new trajectories that posit a neoclassical world where bluegrass and polskas (not polkas) dance in aerial pirouettes. The grind of Väsen's nyckelharpa, a Swedish keyed fiddle, against the arcing flights of Anger's violin is a stunning combination. The album mixes tunes from the American duo and Swedish trio in delirious forays that feature intricate ensemble playing and unbridled improvisations. It's a study in contrasts to hear Olov Johansson's nyckelharpa trying to negotiate the swing of "Yew Piney Mt," while Anger and Marshall inject a bit of Appalachia into the Swedish tune, "Penknife Killer," trading riffs with guitarist Roger Tallroth. Anger is part Heifetz, part gypsy, and part Ponty in his improvisations, while Marshall manages an unusually introspective serenity on mandolin. Together with Väsen, they've made a CD that should be a cross-over classic. --John Diliberto
