Jacqueline recognizes the national conversation on immigration and feels that her music is her contribution, as a way to discuss and honor cultures that have had an impact on American music. Schwab hopes that just as people like trying international foods, they’ll be interested in giving international music a chance. Jacqueline believes this is a way to discuss and honor cultures that have had an impact on American music, and possibly open more dialogue on what immigrants have brought to this country through the years. In “I Lift My Lamp - Vintage Songs and Dances of Immigrant America,” Schwab takes classic songs from Scotland, Ireland, Poland, France and Eastern Europe and reimagines them on piano. Drawing on “the jazz/classical improvisational spirit of Keith Jarrett and the touch of George Winston ….” (New England Folk Almanac), Jacqueline spins musical stories, building bridges to connect listeners to the different cultures and strands that have formed our American music. Her playing is insistent, physical, heartfelt and … unusually moving.” Her musical sensibilities arose from her time immersed in the rich classical and folk music scenes of Pittsburgh’s “melting pot” and later in Boston’s vibrant musical scene. In Ken Burns’ words: “Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and intensity to music than anyone I know. She has long played for English country dancing with the Bare Necessities quartet has released four solo recordings and has performed concerts of vintage American music in almost every state of the Union, as well as at the White House, on “A Prairie Home Companion” and on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”
Jacqueline Schwab is noted for her evocative playing on the soundtracks of documentary filmmaker Ken Burns’ “Civil War,” “Baseball,” “Mark Twain,” “Frank Lloyd Wright,” “The War” and others. at Trinity Lutheran Church in New York Mills.
