This Week on American Routes:
July 16 - July 22, 2008 Banjos Lost and Found: Don Vappie & Nickel Creek From the earliest blues and minstrel tunes to clawhammer bluegrass and forward to newgrass, the banjo has been a part of American music. This week we visit with New Orleans Creole jazzman Don Vappie and hear how the instrument is used in New Orleans traditional jazz. And feel the zeitgeist as San Diego-based Nickel Creek come by for a live set and talk about building onto their bluegrass base and moving beyond. Web hosting by American Studies at Emory University. Produced at Basin Street Station in collaboration with University of New Orleans' School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies. Distributed and co-produced by American Public Media. |
