01 Bell Island (Duane Andrews)
02 Blue Drag
An unforgettable tune from the repertoire of Django Reinhardt though actually composed by Josef Myrow featuring the Atlantic String Quartet.
03 Indifference (Tony Murena/ Joseph Colombo)A classic French musette waltz.
04 The Petty Harbour Bait Skiff (John Grace)
This tune comes from the song written in 1852 about tragedy at sea off the coast of Newfoundland.
05 DD's Blues (Duane Andrews)
06 Bees and Flowers/ Joe Smallwood's (Traditional/ Emile Benoit)
Two reels from two of the "Fathers of the Newfoundland Fiddle". The first is from the playing of Rufus Guinchard, the second is one of Emile Benoit's tunes.
07 Fable of Faubus (Charles Mingus)
I very much admire the adventurous compositional sensibility of Charles Mingus and was particularly drawn to the narrative quality of this tune.
08 Me and Theo (Duane Andrews)
09 Cercles (Duane Andrews)
10 Raindrops (Traditional)
I picked up this waltz from Newfoundland accordionist Art Stoyles who learned an incredible repertoire of Portuguese accordion music from the sailors who frequented St. John's harbour when he was a young boy. Coincidentally, this music is a cousin to the musette music that Django played in his early years.
