Whether on the dusty road, making musical inroads or breaking trails with awesome talent and unlikely instruments--oboe, English horn,
ocarina and guitar--Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel are travelers, innovators in every sense of the word. Tingstad and Rumbel are the number one
guitar and woodwind duo in the country, if not the world. And, like the music they make, they are also deeply rooted in tradition, place
and craft. The result of that classical training--Tingstad on guitar, Rumbel on oboe--and their inspired improvisation is music both
disciplined and innovative, expertly made and imaginative. The unhurried melody, the space between notes, the sheer loveliness of long,
undulating lyrical lines. It creates space, expands time, beckons the imagination to wander a while. Audiences grow very quiet during a
Tingstad and Rumbel concert, spellbound. And the music transports.
