Piano - Lynn Wright |
Violin - Adam De Graff |
Is it bluegrass? Is it jazz? Is it classical, ragtime, country, or
Celtic? If Pianafiddle is performing, the answer is YES! Starting
with only the framework of familiar melody, longtime jazz pianist
Lynn Wright and classical violinist and
fiddler Adam De Graff have teamed
as a unique duo who improvise as they go. They blend the known and
the unknown in gripping performances that touch the soul and make
toes tap and hands clap! Traditionally grounded, yet spontaneous, Pianafiddle rises to a new performance model, totally captivating
and delighting its audience with each selection.
How these two very different musicians ended up together in the
first place is a mystery, even to them. Lynn has enjoyed a
long musical career as a jazz and ragtime pianist, including a
ten-year stint as the resident ragtime pianist at the world-famous
Silver Dollar Saloon in Jackson, Wyoming. Adam is a
classically trained orchestral violinist and chamber musician,
having served most recently a five season tenure with The Richmond
Symphony Orchestra. Their separate paths led them both to West
Virginia in 2003, where each recognized in the other a complementary
talent: soulful, spontaneous, improvisational piano playing by
Wright, technically superb and emotionally powerful violin playing
