New Release: IDIOM (Geosound: GSCD002)
COMBINING mastery with mischief, tradition with modernity, Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley, the internationally acclaimed fiddle and guitar duo from the Orkney Islands, have a magical new CD IDIOM – a way of speaking, of expressing oneself.
This is their first CD since Skyran (10 years ago!) and marks 20 years since their first album, Dancing Fingers, (released when they were a mere 16 years old!).
IDIOM is a sparkling blend of traditional, contemporary and original material, invigorated with jazz, blues and ragtime flavours.
IDIOM, like an Orkney sunrise, bursts with light, colour and outrageous and dizzying energy.
IDIOM has woken the timeless standing stones of Orkney and made them dance again.
IDIOM reflects a confidence and maturity honed from years of touring and playing.
IDIOM is just what you've come to expect from this talented duo – there's that lovely lightness of touch so the music fairly skips along, a great sense of fun, great musicianship from all concerned, and an unerring sense of what sounds, 'right'.
