This week on Mandolin Mondays, classical mandolinist and composer C.E. Jones joins us for a beautiful performance of the "Allemande" from Cello Suite No. 1 by J.S. Bach played on this Gibson F9.
With a Bachelors degree in Cello Performance and a Masters and Doctorate in Music Composition from West Virginia University, Jones became deeply indoctrinated in the Appalachian traditional folk music. For the past half-decade he has played with the group 18 Strings, working their way through a catalog of six hundred-plus songs performing at bars, concert halls, street fairs, and festivals big and small.
C.E. also has a brand new album of mandolin interpretation of the Bach Goldberg Variations, that's just debuted on both the Classical and the Bluegrass Billboard Charts. Check out the record here:https://cejones.bandcamp.com/album/j...erg-variations
