NY Times profile from 2014 ... excellent. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/16/magazine/tony-rice-guitar-hero.html |
Great article @patrickdowns, thanks. The bassist mentioned in it (Todd Phillips) is an old friend of mine from San Jose. He was leaving a band I was just joining in '71, to focus on studying mandolin with David Grisman up in Marin County. David encouraged him to instead learn upright bass (Todd was playing a Fender P-bass at that time), as there were a lot of good mandolin players around, not so many good upright players. Todd took his advice, and ended up in David's band, as well as working with Tony on a number of his albums (Todd also made a couple of albums as band leader). Nice work if you can get it---all it takes is talent ;-) . |
As Jerry said it’s a #€¥£ing pleasure to play with you Tony. Tony said likewise. rip Tony listen to the shady grove on Jerry David and Tony’s pizza tapes as good as noodling and in the moment acoustic jamming gets gives me goosebumps every time I play it. I bet him and Jerry are having a good time right now |
