Jayme Stone is a Canadian banjoist and composer who was formerly in the jazz and roots group Tricycle. His solo album The Utmost won the 2008 Juno Award for Instrumental Album of the Year. With Mansa Sissoko, he won the 2009 Juno Award for World Music Album of the Year for their album Africa to Appalachia.
He has studied with Béla Fleck and with Fleck's teacher, Tony Trischka.
Stone traveled to Mali in 2008 to learn about the banjo's African roots, and subsequently released a bluegrass/African fusion album called Africa to Appalachia in June 2008. Canadian journalist Brianna Goldberg produced a radio documentary about the making of the album, which aired on CBC Radio One.
QUOTES
"Juno-winning Stone, the Yo-Yo Ma of the banjo, celebrates his new album Room of Wonders, an inquiring, sublime work inspired by folk dances the world over."
GLOBE AND MAIL
"All this confirms Stone's place as one of the most adventurous banjo players out there."
EDMONTON JOURNAL
"The music is as spirited as its creator. It's hard to imagine a room large enough to contain the talent that went into its making, or the varied sounds it surveys."
GEORGIA STRAIGHT
"The Room of Wonders of the title perhaps refers to the inside of his head Stone's rich, unfettered imagination as he pursues music inspired by folk dances from around the world."
TORONTO STAR
"Once again, Stone makes you forget the instrument's hillbilly twang: this is banjo like you've never heard it before."
