Arman Finesmith
In
concert, Arman is as likely to follow a hard driving, Robert Johnson delta
blues with an intricate interpretation of a Fats Waller rag, or a Bessie Smith
wail, chased down by a smooth-as-silk rendition of an early Mills Brothers favorite.If you know what “Diddy Wa Diddy” means – and
even if you don’t, you will love Finesmith’s syncopated fancy finger work, as
he spreads early vintage blues and jazz traditions, from the French Quarter to
the far reaches. He is the real deal. Music and video samples can be found at http://www.jujubee.com
