Soundtrack to Seven Sisters: A Kentucky Portrait an award-winning documentary film by Patrick Donohew which follows the lives of seven sisters who grew up in Kentucky in the 1930s and 1940s, tracing their stories as they move from the family farm in the Appalachian mountains to the big city of Lexington below.
Known for their rare and obscure repertoire, beautiful original compositions, inspired arrangements and eclectic instrumentation, The Crooked Jades began with band leader and founder Jeff Kazor's vision to revive the dark and hypnotic sounds of pre-radio music. With this old-time foundation, the band has created the unique Crooked Jades sound by exploring the roots of Americana and interweaving the diverse musical influences of the European and African immigrants who came to the new world.
Filtering these old-world sounds with universal and ancient themes through a post 9/11 lens they seek to make sense of the future. They call this old-world music.
