There are a number of forward-thinking musicians performing today as
part of a "new guard" of solo acoustic steel string players, valiantly
carrying forward the tradition forged by the likes of innovators John
Fahey, Robbie Basho, Sandy Bull, etc. Of these players, leading
the way is the music of Jack Rose and Glenn Jones, two
people who represent a most unique tandem. Best of friends and collaborators
spanning two generations of the idiom, Rose and Jones
have influenced one another, sharing many similarities in their styles,
but also sharing just as many marked differences. Collectively, their
body of work offers the most purely distilled representation of the
style as it has transformed over the years. The Things That We
Used to Do is a celebration of their art, a moving picture snapshot
of two players whose passionate devotion to the solo steel-string tradition
is equally important today as their mentors Fahey and Basho
were in their lifetimes.
Shot expressly for this project in a loft in Brooklyn, NY, The
Things That We Used to Do is a very special, intimate performance
DVD of Jack Rose and Glenn Jones, capturing the artists
playing solo and together with gorgeously shot visual lyricism. The
takes are live, but the performances are not in front of an audience;
rather, it was three cameras, two musicians, and a home transformed
into a studio for a day which created the perfect backdrop for the players
and their very personal music to unfurl. The result is an astounding,
one-of-a-kind document of two leading lights of contemporary solo acoustic
steel string guitar music in their prime, turning in stellar performances.
