Reveal

The Best of 365 is a masterpiece of new Scottish fiddle music from one of the folk worlds boldest innovators. Steeped in tradition, restlessly breaking new ground, O'Rourke is renowned for the rich grain of his fiddle sound, for the stripped-back lyricism of his phrasing and for penning boundary-defying tunes that are full of ancient truths and off-kilter wit. In this project, O'Rourke collaborates with celebrated jazz pianist/harmonium player Kit Downes (ECM) to create a unique new duo sound. 

While in some hands the meeting of folk melody and jazz harmony strays into questionable fusion and risks undermining the integrity of both genres, in the hands of ORourke and Downes an extraordinary new language emerges that is exploratory, fresh and profoundly emotive. The Best of 365 also sees O'Rourke going back to his traditional roots with Edinburgh harpist Esther Swift and Mull guitarist Sorren Maclean. The albums 30 tracks are an unparalleled showcase of artful fiddle playing and distilled musical storytelling.
