At theShelburne Town Hall atPierson Library, Jamie Stillman, Max Rose and Jeremy Mendicino provided an heirloom medley of melody. While subtle,familiar flavors drew listeners to the table, the unfamiliar ones kept them seated. This was an exotic musical dish. Mendicino followedno recipe, mixing in guitar licks and bass lines with a full pedalboard of effects. Rose broughtspice, sprinkling in the heat with his unique fingerstyle-plus-slide approach. He plays a fretless semi-hollow body offset electric guitar tuned to E-A-B-E-A-D — standard for Turkish oud. Stillman, hidden behind his rig — how a true grill cook likes it — garnishedevery plate with hints of drum kit, piano, synth, loops and triggered samples. The menu was robust andthe portions ample, but by the time the market closed at 1 p.m., this day-tripper was ready for seconds.
