If you want an outstanding role model for playing this, or ... any other, kind of dance music...order a copy.
Product Description
A Portland Selection: Contra Dance Music in the Pacific Northwest, contains beautiful, lively jigs and reels played on fiddle, mandolin, 4-string banjo, and piano. This recording is a companion to the popular tune book, The Portland Collection, and includes a cross section of the different styles and sources of contra dance music encompassed in the book. The cd contains a mix of both traditional and recently composed tunes as well as popular standards and tunes that have not been recorded before. Most of the music on the recording is arranged in dance-type medleys and played at dance speed. However, some of the tracks are played slowly with broader variation and may suggest ways of approaching the music outside a contra dance setting. All of the tunes on the recording can be found in The Portland Collection.
