ABOUT JAYME STONE'S LOMAX PROJECT

Two-time Juno winner Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world, bridging folk, jazz and chamber music. His award-winning albums both defy and honor the banjo’s long role in the world’s music, turning historical connections into compelling music.

Focusing on songs collected by folklorist and field recording pioneer Alan Lomax, this collaboratory brings together some of North America’s most distinctive and creative roots musicians to revive, recycle, and reimagine traditional music. The repertoire includes Bahamian sea chanties, African-American a cappella singing from the Georgia Sea Islands, ancient Appalachian ballads, fiddle tunes, and work songs collected from both well-known musicians and everyday folk: sea captains, cowhands, fishermen, prisoners, and homemakers.

REVIEWS OF JAYME STONE'S LOMAX PROJECT:

One of the most compelling and rich roots music recordings of recent years. - PEGHEAD NATION

A groundbreaking piece of work. – SONGLINES

A musical evangelist, Stone loves using fresh approaches to get people hooked on wider musical traditions. – EDMONTON JOURNAL
An album of beautiful, intriguing, thoughtful music coming from a collaboration of outstanding musicians who apply their talents together. It's an album with a beginning, a middle, and an end... asking us, as listeners, to immerse ourselves in the idea of it all. It rewards that attention as much as it captures it, leading us to the music, rather than pushing us to it. - SING OUT

An essential album. - FOLK ROOTS

It places new wonders alongside old favorites, for a listening experience that's fresh and fun no matter how familiar you are with Lomax's collection. - HUFFINGTON POST
