“One of the most rhythmically sophisticated fiddlers in the world – Jane’s groove is impeccable!” Donna Hébert, fiddler, teacher and colleague

Jammin’ Jane – want to play?

Jane Rothfield – fiddler, banjo player, tunesmith, teacher and composer – has been playing since early childhood. Her classical beginnings included study at Julliard’s pilot Suzuki children’s program, where she met the founder, Shinchi Suzuki. As a teen, she slipped her classical mooring and headed for other shores, along the way mastering an inspiring repertoire of American and Celtic traditional tunes, with a strong smattering of old-time and Scottish-rooted pieces as the centerpiece. With decades of collecting tunes, she still has left room in her heart for lots of original compositions in the many traditions of the roots music she loves.
