FRANKIE GAVIN & PAUL BROCK: A TRIBUTE TO JOE COOLEY - OMOS DO JOE COOLEY
Frankie Gavin: fiddle
Paul Brock: accordion
Charlie Lennon: piano
First released in 1986, this fantastic fiddle and accordion duet album is considered by many one of the best recordings of Irish music of all times. A mixture of classic and lesser known tunes, an infectious groove, but without the frantic pace of some of Gavin's later work, and a near-perfect balance between tight ensemble playing and captivating variation making on the tunes, all contribute to awe-inspiring performances. With the great Charlie Lennon on piano.
