The Waxwing by Gretchen Koehler
Gretchen Koehler & Daniel Kelly blend the energy of Celtic fiddling with the nuanced lyricism of jazz piano. On their debut CD The Waxwing, Koehler & Kelly play a wide variety of reels, jigs, and airs -some old, some new- that highlight not only Koehler’s powerful fiddling but her tremendous multi-string arrangements within the unusual matrix of Kelly’s jazz.

Gretchen Koehler is a champion fiddler with an atlas of musical styles at her fingertips. Her left hand has a fierce Irish brogue, her bow arm provides a distinct American Old Time drive while her feet hammer out accompaniment on the floorboards in typical Quebecois style. TIME Magazine identified Koehler as “astonishingly good.”
