Amazon.com American hipster-harpist Deborah Henson-Conant was a featured player on 1998's Celtic Harpestry, and is best known for her jazz and 12-bar blues playing. On The Celtic Album Henson-Conant spreads her wings, stretching her talent to the traditional Celtic music she's always loved. "The Drunken Sailor" boasts a smooth jazz flavor, jamming with multiple harps, and with rhythm & bluesy solos. But Henson-Conant has a flair for the traditional too; her light touch blends beautifully with the flute of Peter Barnes on "Slieve Russell." Her electric harp, used exclusively on this album, has a warm jazz guitar feel on "She Moved Through the Fair" as well as on "Gussie's Great Escape." But this nontraditional style is what makes Henson-Conant special: leave the preservation of pure Celtic music to Sileas, Deborah Henson-Conant is leading us into modern ancient territory. --Karen Karleski Product Description American hipster-harpist Deborah Henson-Conant was a featured player on 1998's Celtic Harpestry, and is best known for her jazz and 12-bar blues playing.
