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".

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.
In agreement with the above postings.Also bought the "pizza',but prefer the earlier collaborations-Enjoy!
Old and In the Way is a classic. Jerry on Banjo, Peter Rowan playing guitar, David Grisman- mandolin, John Kann- bass and Vassar Clements on the fiddle. Vassar steals the show on this one.

All good suggestions above. I'll throw in another Stephan Greppali favorite of mine... "Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live,"

Doc and Dawg (as in Doc Watson and Dasvid gisman) is also a treat... I could go on and on. Acoustic Disc online is chock full of goodies.I have never been disappointed with any music bought here. I hope they put their catalog out on hi rez downlaods.
I agree with "So What." It's awesome. Also, in addition to these other suggestions, check out "Shady Grove".....beautiful tunes recorded incredibly well.
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.
