Cyd Smith & Ruthie Dornfeld House Concert at Bruce & Bonnie's near Columbia City. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Cyd Smith brings the swinging rhythms and harmonies of jazz to tunes gathered from around the world by master fiddler Ruthie Dornfeld. In turn, Ruthie’s ear for the adventurous resonates superbly with Cyd’s distinctive songwriting. Ruthie, recognized as one of America’s finest and most versatile fiddlers, is equally at home in traditional fiddle styles—Irish, American, Hungarian, or Danish—as she is in free improvisation or Brazilian chorinhos. Cyd, through her exploration of early jazz and traditional American roots music, has uncovered her own fresh voice in guitar playing and songwriting. Long-time friends and collaborators, their musical connection is intimate, often surprising, and deeply engaging. |
