Knowing that I would be returning from a vacation and alighting from a jet just a few hours before show time, I finally put into play an idea that’s been kicking around in my head for quite a while: Offering a program of extended works, most of them instrumental in nature. The only rule of thumb was that each piece had to be at least five minutes in length, enabling the artist(s) to stretch out their musical legs.
There’s one exception (there always is!) and that’s the set by the Red Hen String Band and Jane Rothfield, the fiddler for the group. The set highlights their debut appearance the next night at the Branford Folk Music Society.
