Spark
2006 Dog My Cat Records
Spark showcases Jaime RT’s new instrument – the
5-string viola that she has lovingly penned the “fiddola” – a
new musical partner in guitarist Andy Hillhouse and her dedication
to exploring a variety of musical styles. Ten original compositions
and two well-chosen cover tunes that feature Andy on vocals are spiced
with flavours from the folk, celtic and world music genres. A jig is
layered with a funk groove, traditional fiddle tunes carry elements
of jazz and an instrumental duet with slide guitarist Harry Manx touches
on Eastern blues elements. Jaime RT is creating fresh, vibrant West
Coast fiddle music based on an age-old tradition, establishing a new
modern branch on the folk tree. An auditory “fiddola” feast!

REACH
2004 Dog My
Cat Records
Reach is a rich combination of sounds, a
merging of the classical with a folk soul that takes listeners on a
journey of melodic pathways. Imaginative, joyous, and rich with stylistic
mergings, this album establishes Jaime RT as an innovative artist willing
to bring fiddle music to new palates.
A contemporary folk album, Reach blends new and old music, celtic and
Jazz, classic and Acadian to create a uniquely west-coast inspired
world approach to the fiddle. Woven with the support of mandolin, guitar,
accordion, bass, cello and tabla, Jaime’s violin and viola take
us on a journey that keeps us wanting more. Reach brings a stellar
line-up of some of the best talent in folk music today such as the
prodigious, cutting-edge fiddle composer Oliver Schroer on violin,
Canada’s top mandolin player John Reischman along with Juno-nominated
musicians Glen Manders and Andrian Dolan of The Bills.
Reach is a fresh new canvas that has allowed Jaime RT
to create a picture of fiddle music that is both new and familiar,
a sound that is “out-of-the-box” and ultimately captivating.
