  • Description

    Master fiddlers Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, Bruce Molsky and Rushad Eggleston, some of today's most celebrated fiddlers, make their Compass debut with the release of the cross-cultural extravaganza and Grammy nominated Fiddlers 4. Doucet is well loved for his work as the leader of Cajun super-group BeauSoleil. Anger, the leading exponent of jazz-hued newgrass and Molsky, internationally revered as a leading old time fiddler, come together with newcomer Eggleston to offer this collection of tunes with stops in the Louisiana bayou, the Appalachian mountains and the Marin foothills. Each player has made a major musical statement and helped revolutionize their field, inspiring numerous emulators and new genres. Their repertoire spans a heroic reach of American culture, covering the spectrum of American fiddle, from the oldest dance tunes to sophisticated jazz sounds, with singing and stories.
