Art Rosenbaum

New York indigenous Artwork Rosenbaum belonged to a generation of city slickers who found out, fell deeply in love with, and devoted themselves to traditional rural music. Unlike others, though, for just one cause or another Rosenbaum by no means came off like a copycat or hollow imitation. Rather, his banjo playing for Elektra Information in the middle-60s actually prolonged and constructed upon the united states tradition instead of simply aping it. As an expansion of his enthusiasm for the music, Rosenbaum started making and assembling series of traditional music, including Great Times at THE HOUSE, a series released on Folkways that highlighted fiddler John “Dick” Summers and became a preferred among the neo-folky audience. After authoring a 1968 instructional reserve for banjo, Rosenbaum transferred to Iowa where he trained painting and released single records on small labels such as for example Meadowlands and Kicking Mule. Then moved again, this time around to the faculty city of Athens, GA, where he authored a reserve in the state’s musical background and released many more information on Flyright and Folkways. Rosenbaum continues to be a well-respected educational presence in the picture for his continuing dedication to traditional nation music and his motivated banjo player.
