Tribute:
This
album is actually a double CD as it contains
(23) tracks (containing 30 tunes) of a variety of fiddle styes
including Irish & Scottish traditional tunes, beautiful Waltzes
and Irish slow Airs, American and Hungarian music etc. Jim is accompanied
by the talented guitarist Pat Conroy (long time accompanyist to the
late great Sean Maguire) and James Quinn on Piano/Bass. This CD demonstrates
once again why so many people consider Jim McKillop to be a world class
player with a unique talent for expressive and emotional playing as
well as technical expertise.
From
the Parlour: A fabulous CD featuring fifteen (15) tracks of Irish
& Scottish Traditional tunes. This album professionally recorded
in the natural setting with acoustic piano, guitar and double bass captures
a sense of feeling and energy which can sometimes get lost in the clinically
correct and overproduced studio album. In fact, the sound heard on this
album, is reminisecent of recordings that pre-date the multitrack high
tech era. Accompanied by: James Blennerhassett....Double Bass, Marie
Askin...Acoustic piano, Matt McGrannaghan....Fiddle and Tim Murray....Acoustic
Guitar.

and atmosphere of that memorable concert.
