D'Jalma Garnier

A long-time contributor to Creole music, fiddle and guitar player D’Jalma Garnier III is the grandson of New Orleans Jazz bandleader ‘Papa’ Garnier. As one of Louisiana’s finest ambassadors of Creole-style fiddle playing, he has been a leader in preserving the history and culture of that music. His recording and production credits are considered classics in the tradition of Creole and old time Zydeco music. He is producer of Passport To Modern Jazz, KRVS.org, author of Louisiana Creole Fiddle Method published by Mel Bay Publishing 2010, and currently bassist with three time Grammy nominee Cedric Watson and Bijou Creole since winter 2009.
