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".

What?!?! You didn't also order Old and In the Way with Vassar Clements adding his mastery? ;-) I highly recommend this one as well.

Also, try to find a copy of Grisman's Hot Dawg. No Garcia on that one, but Stephane Grapelli adds a touch of his jazz influence on violin. If this album doesn't get your toes tapping, you have to be dead.

I'll second Dan_ed's suggestions, and add three instrumental albums from The Tony Rice Unit - "Backwaters", "Still Inside", and "Unit of Measure" . . . Rice was the original guitarist for the David Grisman Quintet, and he has a similar approach in both style and form.
