Geoff Muldaur His Last Letter (2-CD-Book-Deluxe-Edition)

(Moon River Music) 16 tracks, incl. 80-page book

Geoff Muldaur is not only one of the great voices and musical forces to have emerged from the folk, blues and folk-rock scene of the American East Coast, he also lived for many years at legendary Woodstock and played at several Newport Folk Festivals when the Americana / Folk genre was at its peak.

In the 1960s and 70s, Geoff made a number of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and later with Paul Butterfield's group Better Days, as well as collaborating with his then-wife Maria Muldaur and other notable musicians: Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, Dr. John, Phil Everly, Jerry Garcia and many more.

Geoff Muldaur (73) is now releasing His Last Letter on Moon River Music.

His Last Letter (The Amsterdam Project) is Geoff Muldaur's most ambitious project to date; a tour de force in a long line of highly acclaimed recordings by this venerable musician.

Muldaur takes us on a musical journey, collaborating with some of Holland's finest classical and jazz musicians to present stylish interpretations of tunes from the American folk and jazz songbag, settings of poems by Tennessee Williams, tributes to heroes like Jelly Roll Morton and Duke Ellington, and new, original compositions.

These recordings are available in exclusive high-end packaging ... a 2-LP box set with a 40-page booklet that includes exclusive photos, a foreword by composer David Amram, and extensive track-by-track notes and personal stories by Geoff Muldaur.

It is a collector's item for adult contemporary music lovers, educated and sophisticated in taste . . and the young at heart, especially with an interest in the American music scene of the 60s / 70s, culture, art and theater. "Eclectic" is the word for those who appreciate classical and jazz, Americana and blues, good songs and stories.

His Last Letter is a retrospective of an impressive career. It's a refreshing and lively mix of modern classical and crossover that shows Geoff Muldaur as a creative artist who wants to continue to develop the music he loves.
