Miles | Counterpoint: Clawhammer Banjo Duets & CD

Counterpoint  is a collection of banjo duets, for which Michael J. Miles has taken traditional melodies and created a second banjo part in counterpoint harmony. Counterpoint harmony (vs. parallel harmony) has a rhythm and melody of its own, distinct from the main melody. The result is an exquisite sound that enriches these ancient melodies and breathes a revitalized life into them. When Pete Seeger heard Miles's recording, he said, ‘This is one of the most beautiful recordings I have heard in all my 70 years…it's enough to make me want to learn the banjo all over again.’ Includes companion CD.
