Since 2000 Peacock Recordings has been dedicated to documenting a new generation of creative musicians.
Inspired by the great free jazz duos of Ed Blackwell and Don Cherry, as well as Kentucky
fiddling and noise improv, Sam Amidon and Aaron Siegel weave together a puzzling and
ecstatic narrative of wandering among the wreckage of improvisation. This record marks their
first as a duo, though they have been performing together for several years. It has 11 tracks
that range from energy Appalachian free jazz to more contemplative requiems for celesta and
banjo. Where else can you find ancient sounds of croaking voices and rumbling percussion
mingling between the genres? Fiddle and Drum is Sam Amidon and Aaron Siegel.
