Jayme Stone (banjo) | Ron Miles (trumpet) | Jean-Luc Davis (bass) | Marc Dalio (drums)

Two-time Juno Award winning banjoist, composer and instigator Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world. His brand new album, The Other Side of the Air, is a travelogue of imaginary landscapes and faraway lands. The album traverses the Cinnamon Route through Persia and India and revisits and reinvents melodies Stone collected in West Africa. In concert, you’ll also catch them playing a Bach fugue, a Trinidadian Calypso, Bulgarian mountain dance and Stone’s own tiny symphonies.
