Bridging the Gap
is Bens latest CD release and features a compilation of his
favorite fiddle tunes from over the years. Traditional acoustic music
is the dominant style for the album but other musical influences are
found embedded within the arrangements. To illustrate this, Coleraine
is an Irish jig redone in a world music fashion with bongos and eastern
scales incorporated into the solo passage. Faith Unlocks the Door
has a rich classical sound with twin fiddle harmony. Minor Swing is
an upbeat tune with roots in gypsy jazz music. The enjoyment of hearing
all these styles coalesce into an outstanding studio performance is
the result of a first-rate approach that combines classical training
and folk music.
