Alison Brown Quartet April 19, 2008

Backed by electric bass, keyboards and drums, Allison Brown turns the banjo into a true jazz instrument. Local musical hero Craven, on mandolin, fiddle and percussion, has long been a musical globetrotter figuring masterful ways to combine the rich American folk and acoustic musical repertoire with that of other traditional musics of the world -- South American, African, gypsy, European and way beyond.
