Jody Stecher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jody Stecher is a two-time Grammy-nominated artist for his duet albums with his wife Kate Brislin. He is a mainstay in folk music for over thirty years. A native of Brooklyn, his work has gone from bluegrass to traditional old-time and Indian classical music. He is regarded as one of the leading traditional folk artists in America and his recordings have served a large and diverse group of musicians, including Jerry Jeff Walker, Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Martin Simpson, Seldom Scene, Laurie Lewis, Kathy Kallick, and Hot Rize.
David Bromberg once said, "Jody Stecher was basically my teacher. He opened my ears to more beautiful music than anyone else ever did... more than I ever knew existed. He is also one of my favorite musicians on Earth to play with. I have never known anyone so intensely and completely enveloped in music. It's my suspicion that if you drained all the music out of Jody, you could carry what was left around in an eye dropper."
