About the Album

“Wake Up Jacob” is a track from guitarist-composer Richard Nelson’s new album “Deep River.” For Maine-based guitarist/composer Richard Nelson, fatherhood set him on an epic journey into the past, where he found the raw materials and inspiration for “Deep River”, a singular jazz suite that reimagines and reclaims early 20th century American roots music. Conceived for Mark Harvey’s Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, the inveterately inventive Boston ensemble in which Nelson has performed since the late 1980s, the album brings a 21st century improvisational aesthetic to the unvarnished and idiosyncratic folk forms of an American republic almost lost to living memory.
