New CD: Steph Geremia

Hi,
just got the cd by Steph Geremia.
What beautifull playing!!! Love it.

The Open Road - tracklist
Steph Geremia on myspace

Have a look/listen…


Cheers, Moritz

Great news! She’s a wonderful player–I had the pleasure of taking her class in Milwaukee a couple years back, and she’s also an excellent teacher.

Thanks for that. I didn’t know of her but had heard some of her band. Very smooth technique.

BTW How do you pronounce her last name, “Geremia”?

:confused:

Anyone know if she’s bluesman Paul Geremia’s daughter?

~~

I’ve always pronounced it ‘Jeremiah’, but I’ve no idea if I’m right.

Right on the money. :thumbsup:

I have just received (and listened to) Stephanie’s CD, and agree that it’s great playing. Lovely articulation, arrangements, and tune choices.

Just got mine today. Good stuff :thumbsup: Love the first track.

This is so decent.

Lovely playing (from all involved) on that Alan Kelly 4tet clip. I haven’t had time to explore further…

Interesting to observe (re: recent discussions, and I mean observe as in “describe what is seen”; I intend no criticism - I think her playing is lovely), I thought, that Ms Geremia has a very “smiley” embouchure, doesn’t protrude her top lip much and, judging from that clip, doesn’t make a "typical " ITM flute sound (whatever that might be) - very wooden flute, yes, and plenty rich and round, and strong enough on low Ds etc., but also smooth and mellow. Terry should take a gander!

which flute she plays?
I’ve already heard some positive feedback about her few months ago but…
well, probably I have to give a second chance to this cd…

She plays Grinters now. I’ve heard her on Hamilton flute and she sounded amazing on that as well.

I received the CD at xmas, I’ve listened to it it intently.

She has a lovely style of flute playing that I think is smooth and flowing, not as strong as Molloy or McEvoy but pretty good all the same.

Has anyone else noticed she seems to nod her head a lot as if trying to change the note ?

I’m away for another listen…

This is a player with a lovely sound that is squarely in the tradition.

Looks to me like she’s bobbing her head in time …

If I may opine (and what else is the internet for?) this approach, which gives colour and character to the tunes, offers a much more interesting way forward for ITM than some of the “we can be FAst Reel ThrashERS too” bands that we often see spruiked as the latest up-and-coming thing.

Yep, and there are people who can appreciate both without dismissing either. So there you go. :wink:

And yes, lovely playing in that clip above.
