Product Description The Master Dishwasher is the second CD by Cliff Art and the first to feature drums and percussion on about two-thirds of the tracks. You may have heard some of these songs as musical interludes on NPR, including All Things Considered and Morning Edition. About the Artist Cliff Art brings together an eclectic combination of traditional and alternative music into a rich sonic collaboration. Cliff Art combines the timbres of Appalachian lap dulcimers, 8-string acoustic bass guitar, and Chapman Grand Stick(TM), with appearances by drums and percussion, to create original music that attracts a widely diverse audience. Cliff Art’s rich and unique style eludes classification, drawing influences from straight-ahead rock-n-roll to alternative to new age to folk. This unique group holds something for everyone. Listeners’ observations range from "Japanese Extra-Terrestrial Fusion Jazz" to "Bluegrass in the year 2000." If you want thoughtfulness and intelligence, if you want sly, introspective wit, tap into the music of Cliff Art.
