The Crooked Jades fell into my lap one day in February. The cover art intrigued me enough to put it immediately in the CD player, and I found myself about 2 songs in sitting in rapt attention as the CD interrupted my work and moved into the foreground. This was the real deal - old time music for the 21st century, with no fusion and no apologies. I was hooked. By the end of the next day I had them booked to come play a Sunday morning performance at WPKN (hence, the rather thin "audience ambiance" you will hear on the recording) a few weeks later as they passed through town.

This is the way to hear this music, a group of musicians gathered around a single (albeit stereo) mic, just like old-time radio. I hope you enjoy it now as much as we did when they made the recording. - CF
