Editorial Reviews
Old Time Herald, Fall 2001
Miller plays with an elegant electricity that is the heart and soul of the best contra music.

Product Description
Airdance recalls the musical explosion of Rodney Miller's original Airplang albums which inspired the New England contra music revolution. Celtic, traditional and even jazz tunes flower on strong contra dance roots, and reflect the continuing vbitality and vibrancy of the New England contra scene. Rodney's famous fiddle is featured, but each member of the band has time in the spotlight. Each musician is New England's finest on his or her instrument. The fusion of these talents creates musical magic.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic group, fantastic album.......2005-03-23

Not only did I purchase this CD, but I saw Rodney Miller and Airdance live twice in the last two years at (Contra) dance camp weekends. The exuded an energy unlike any group I had ever heard. This group is a great combination of traditional Celtic and Old Time music that you will want to listen to over and over. I cannot get enough of this music, and listen to this CD over an over. Rodney's fiddle comes across in grand style, but David's mandolin, and Mary Kay's piano and all the other instruments make this a unique work. All the tracks are great, especially Fred Bartell/JigJazz.

Not only do I recommend this album, but also Flying on Home by Airdance. And if you ever have the opportunity to hear them live, I recommend you do so, you'll be glad you did for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!!!!.......2000-09-23

I love this CD. It has introduced me to a whole new area of music. I usually listen to Scottish and Irish music. Fiddle music is my favorite. I have become an instant fan of Rodney Miller. He is an amazing fiddler. This music will make you want to get up and dance. Highly recommended!!!
