“Lit up by improvisatory bursts of bluegrass and mountain fiddling, [Midkiff’s] mellow virtuosity elicited youthful yelps from the upper galleries of the hall.”
—Alex Ross of the New Yorker

Carpe Diem Midkiff CD

Jeff Midkiff: Music for Mandolin and String Quartet

Jeff’s unique collaboration with the Carpe Diem String Quartet has produced the main two works on this album.

The First Quintet (2015) is an arrangement of his Concerto, “From the Blue Ridge,” and the Second Quintet (2017) is entitled “Gypsy.”

“With enthrallingly flawless execution and miraculous synchronicity, the Carpe Diem String Quartet wowed their New York audience at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall. With a flair for the romantic and technical expertise to spare, the ensemble is a perfectly structured, dexterously concentrated success.”

Partners in Time CD2

Partners In Time

With its deft, thoughtful blend of classical, bluegrass, jazz and swing influences, Partners In Time is an outstanding debut by a musician who feels comfortable in more than one setting—musically and personally.

“I feel at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains playing fiddle tunes,” Jeff Midkiff says, “but then again, I feel at home in a professional orchestra as well.”
