Another CD or LP worth searching out is Gator Strut by Mike Marshall. He played with Grisman in the past and has a similar style but as AMG describes the music on this CD ... progressive bluegrass! An interesting CD with Fleck, Rice, Douglas, Wasserman and Grisman all contributing. I own the LP but I imagine the CD is easier to find and I think has been reissued by MFSL.
Greatful Dawg; Jerry Garcia & Dave Grisman
An a-gon search indicates Garcia/Grisman has been mentioned before, but I caught the video "Grateful Dawg" last night on ovtv..wow..amazing music. I'm more of a straight-ahead jazz type, although I've been focusing on various acoustic music selections lately.
If you haven't seen the video, it's worth pursuing. If you haven't checked the Garcia/Grisman collaborations...do yourself a favor & do so. I only hope the CDs are as good sonically as the music itself.
Here's a list of joint ventures:
Garcia_Grisman
I just ordered "So What", "Grisman & Garcia", and "The Pizza Tapes".

The Pizza Tapes are fantastic. If you haven't heard the story behind the name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pizza_Tapes Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live is also great. |
